The second game started the same way as they fell behind 10-22.
They then started to settle down and get some plays to go their way. Tiffany Schaeffer served up 3 straight aces and then she scored a kill on a ball she sent over the net from way out of bounds. Kaylee Uhlenkott followed with a kill to cut the lead to 16-22.
A kill by Chantel Boniecki and an ace by Uhlenkott got Prairie to 19 points before Orofino scored the match point.
In their second match against Kendrick they played a lot better as they took the early lead at 7-2 on a pair of aces by Chelsea Long and a kill each by Alli Holthaus and Uhlenkott.
Prairie held onto the lead until Kendrick caught them at 17. Kendrick then pulled away for the win scoring 8 of the final 9 points.
The second game was just the reverse of the first as Kendrick jumped out to the 2-7 lead and led 9-16 at one point.
Kim Schaeffer then got a serving run going to make it close. She had 3 aces and Tiffany Schaeffer and Boniecki each scored a kill to cut the lead to 1 at 15-16.
Prairie finally was able to take the lead during a serving run by Sam Frei. Frei had struggled to get her serves in to that point but was able to put 5 in a row in play starting with an ace. A kill by Uhlenkott tied the game at 19 and 2 kills by Tiffany Schaeffer and a kill by Long put Prairie on top 22-19.
Kendrick came right back to tie the game at 22 and it was tied again at 23 and 24 before an ace by Long and a kill by Uhlenkott gave Prairie a 26-24 win.
The deciding third game went back and forth all the way as the biggest lead of the game came when Prairie led 11-7 after a kill by Kim Schaeffer.
Kaylee Uhlenkott goes high for a spike. Also shown are Tiffany Schaeffer and Alli Holthaus.Kendrick came back with 4 straight points to tie the game and after that the only time either team led by more than 1 point was the final score.

A missed serve by Prairie at 20-19 gave Kendrick the serve and they finally put 2 more points together to end the match.
After their marathon match, Prairie got off to a slow start against C.V. as they fell behind 0-4 but then rallied to tie the game on 3 aces by Boniecki.

The second game went back and forth until Prairie put a run together with Alli Holthaus serving. She took over at 8-7 and served up 3 aces with Boniecki and Tiffany Schaeffer each adding a kill to give Prairie a 13-7 lead.
