Coming into the game PHS was 3-1 with wins against Graham Kapowsin, Sumner and Emerald Ridge, with their sole loss coming against the Curtis Vikings.

Bellarmine came in undefeated in league play, any momentum they had coming in was taken away early.

However, Bellarmine would not go down without a fight.

After a timeout, the Vikings came storming back to tie it at 17 to 17, and ended up winning the final set by a score of 25 to 23.

With this victory, PHS puts themselves in good position to grab the league title.
