The Lady Warriors finished a perfect season at (22-0) and went right to work in game one jumping on top early 6-1. Ridgeline Academy got to within 9-6, but Trinity Christian got hot and went on to outscore the Lady Eagles 16-5 going on to win that first game 25-11. 

The second game was nip and tuck as the Lady Eagles took an early 3-1 lead. Trailing 9-5, the Lady Warriors stormed back to take the lead 10-9, but from there it went back and forth with neither team getting up by more than two points. Trinity Christian scored the final two to win game two 25-23.

The championship anticipation and emotions grew for the Lady Warriors and their fans as they were on the cusp of not only the championship but a perfect season to boot. Ridgeline Academy still had plenty of fight in them and game three was tied at five, but Trinity Christian began to slowly pull away. An 8-7 lead went  to 11-8 and then jumped to 14-9.  Ridgeline came back to get within 17-16 and eventually tied the game at 20. It was all Lady Eagles from there as they scored the final five points to give the Lady Warriors their second girls volleyball Canyon Athletic Association championship in school history.

The impressiveness of the Lady Warriors was seen in their last 19 matches as they swept each opponent to win their last 57 games. In an amazing fact, Trinity Christian lost only two games their entire season going 66-2. The school located in north Prescott continues to thrive, not only in their athletics, but in their classrooms as well. Congratulations to Trinity Christian.
