OLIVIA -- Sauk Centre's front line stuffed BOLD's bid for the West Central Inter-conference championship as the Mainstreeters outlasted BOLD 25-23, 22-25, 20-25, 25-14, 15-10 Monday.
North champion Sauk Centre (23-5) had Kali Peschel (10), Shelby Deters (eight) and Macy Weller (seven) combine for 25 blocks while BOLD (20-5) was able to notch just two ace blocks. Peschel paced the Mainstreeters with 10 kills.
Every game was tightly contested, with the exception of Game 4, and Sauk Centre closed out Game 5 with an 8-1 run to win its ninth straight match.
BOLD, winners of the South, had Brittany Nissen get a match-high 15 kills with Tyann Caspers and Nikki Neisen getting 14 more each and Molly Herdina another 11. Sarah Gass added 44 assists and five ace serves.
