Delano and Northfield entered the Class 3A, Section 6 volleyball final as the top two seeds, hungry for a trip to the state tournament.
The Tigers were primed to return to the tournament, looking to redeem last year’s loss to Marshall in the Class 3A championship game. The Raiders sought to put their name on the bracket for the first time in school history.
In the end, much like their season, unbeaten Delano (30-0) started hot and never stopped, cruising past Northfield in four sets, 25-12, 25-23, 21-25, 26-24, at Waconia High School.
