THUNDER BAY – Since 2010, only two schools have claimed the senior girls high school volleyball championship.
Together they delivered one of the most competitive senior girls finals in recent memory, Westgate needing the full five sets to knock off the Falcons to claim a third straight championship win. Teammate Andi Rissanen said the key was not letting themselves get down after taking a two-set let, only to have the Falcons storm back to even the match and send it to a decisive fifth match.
The Falcons, who last won a senior championship in 2019, were never out of any set. They found themselves down nine in the first, but Maia Peterson served up five straight points to close the gap to 21-19 before the Tigers finished it off to go up 1-0. It was the opposite in the fourth, with the Falcons leading or tied most of the way, only to see the Tigers roar back to take a 24-23 lead and a chance to serve for the championship. But the Falcons saved the point, and another with the title on the line, outlasting their opponent 28-26 to force a decisive fifth set.
