SOUTH BEND — Jessica Sanchez had 26 kills and four blocks as South Bend outlasted North Beach, 20-25, 25-19, 24-26, 25-21, 15-11, in a Pacific League finalé on Wednesday at Koplitz Fieldhouse.

South Bend’s Livvie Ogilvie played a key role in the back-and-forth match. Expanding her role to full-time setter due to an injury, she contributed 13 digs and five kills.

“I was pretty proud of our girls, I think they grew up a little bit,” South Bend coach Jackie Sanchez said. “We showed great composure and I was pretty proud of how well they stayed together.”

“North Beach is much improved, I was very impressed by them,” Sanchez added.

Karley Reidinger added 12 kills and three blocks, Katelyn Doyle 10 digs and Kenzy Boothe three kills for South Bend (3-5, 5-8).

The Tribe took the JV contest, 25-12, 25-15.
