Among the victors were league powers Coleman and Peshtigo, which finished one-two in the final standings.

Coleman swept Tri-County while Peshtigo was forced to play five games before turning back upset-minded Crandon.

-Division 2 Results-

Marinette Ousted

By Notre Dame

Traveling to number two seed Green Bay Notre Dame, Marinette didn’t put up much of a fight in falling 25-6, 25-18 and 25-10.

Olivia Alloy topped the Marines with 5 kills, Melissa Huempfner 7 assists and Hayley Honeychurch 5 digs.

We struggled with our ball handling and that kept us on defense all night. I think the girls showed at times that they can compete with a top team and that is something we can build on for next year, coach John Swick said.

Oconto Falls

Beats Omro

With McKenna Larsen dishing out 13 assists and collecting 11 kills, Oconto Falls (34-10) topped Omro 25-4, 25-16 and 25-19.
