WOW! Sauk Centre wins in five games (again) to advance in the playoffs

Krista Primus knocks one past a Little Falls defender.

The Streeters celebrate a point.

Kendra Zenzen played well both in the back row and on the outside.

The fans helped the Streeters' cause. In the end, Sauk would need a little magic to get past the Flyers.

Coach Klaphaake rallies the troops.

Primus with another kill. Her left thigh was taped up before the game but it didn't seem to bother her during the match.

The Mainstreeters volleyball team won game five tonight against #2-seeded Little Falls by a 15-11 score to advance to the Section 6AA championship match for the third year in a row.

Sauk Centre won game one 25-16, and then they won game two as well.

Little Falls won the next two games to tie it up 2-2!

Game five was a back and forth effort between the two teams. Little Falls certainly had the momentum and for a while it looked as though the top-seeded Mainsreeters would get knocked off.

But a couple Little Falls miscues led to a 13-11 lead. After scoring the 14th point, Kendra Zenzen leapt high and hit hard for the game-winning kill.

Check back here tomorrow for photos and video of the big win.

Up next: on Saturday afternoon at St. Ben's University in St. Joseph at 2 p.m. the Mainstreeters face #4-seeded Annandale out of the east half of the section. The Cardinals knocked out #2-seeded St. Cloud Cathedral tonight in their sub-section title match.

Sauk celebrates another point.
