It took a little over an hour for Marquette Catholic to lay claim to its fifth straight Class A state championship on Saturday at Ball State’s Worthen Arena.
The Blazers took three straight games from Barr-Reeve, 25-19, 29-27, 25-16 to win another title, its eighth overall. It was also the 34th consecutive tournament victory for Marquette.
Down a game, the Vikings led 21-17 in the pivotal second game before a kill by junior Brianna Gannon and two aces by junior Sarah Lutz spurred the Blazers on to a 22-21 lead. The second game saw 12 ties and five lead changes before Marquette Catholic junior setter Amber Cerillos’ ace propelled the Blazers to a 2-0 lead with a 29-27 win.
In the decisive third game, the Blazers jumped out to a 4-0 lead and led by as many as eight (19-11) before junior outside hitter Ashley Edmond’s kill delivered the championship.
Edmond led the attack for the Blazers, finishing with 14 kills and four aces, while Gannon and sophomore Katie Clancy each added six. Cerillos tallied eight aces and Edmond had four of her own. Senior Jenna Fumo finished with 17 digs.
Barr-Reeve was led by junior Hilliary Fox’s 12 kills and 10 digs. Senior Shanelle Burch finished with 14 digs and junior Terrell Miller 10.
Head Coach Troy Campbell and Marquette Catholic finished the season at 36-4 after beating Indianapolis Lutheran, 25-18, 25-18, 25-12 in its semifinal match earlier in the day. Coach Amber DeCoursey’s Barr-Reeve squad ended the season at 36-3. The Vikings ousted Lafayette Central Catholic 25-18, 25-22, 25-22, for their spot in the championship match.
