State tournament update - Sauk Centre goes up 2-1 in games on Marshall

The 'Streeters won game two 25-16 and then won game three 25-19 to go up 2-1 in games on #3 seeded Marshall in the Class 2A quarterfinals. They were drubbed in game one 25-11 and it did not look good going into game two for the Mainstreeters.

Update at 20:43...Sauk Centre won! They played back from an early 7-1 deficit in game four and defeated heavily-favored Marshall 25-23 to take the match. Marshall led 21-14 and appeared poised to force a fifth game. Kali Peschel stepped up as all great players do and scored the first six points of a Streeters' 11-2 run that closed out the match. B-B-E coach Kevin Weller's niece Macy Weller (sophomore) drilled an ace block and a kill to tie it at 23-23. The Tigers hit long on the final two points to lift Sauk Centre into the semi-finals, where they'll face undefeated Wadena-Deer Creek.
