MESA, ARIZ. – In the first two matches between OUAZ and Benedictine Mesa, the respective home team won in four sets. Unfortunately for the Spirit, that trend continued in the semifinal of the GSAC Tournament, as they were on the wrong side of a 3-1 decision to end the season on Tuesday night.

Second-seeded OUAZ came out swinging against BenU Mesa, winning the first set 25-20 in impressive fashion. While the Spirit played well in the final three sets, the Redhawks seemingly never made a mistake as BenU took the final three frames of the match.
