The next match came against S&S Consolidated. The Lady Panthers won the first set 25-19 and the second set 25-18 to make it to the championship game
Saint Jo next faced off against Texoma Christian School for the tournament title. The private school Lady Eagles showed they were not to be taken lightly as they beat the Lady Panthers in the first two sets by the barest margin 25-23 and 26-24.
While the rest of the tournament was a best of three format and would have spelled the end, the championship was a best of five.
Saint Jo was able to shake off the toughest of starts. Instead of hanging their heads, the Lady Panthers fought back to tie the match with one sided wins in sets three (25-6) and four (25-14). The fifth set was more competitive, but Saint Jo was able to get control in the end to win 15-12.
