Nicole Bittner had 10 kills, five blocks and two aces for the Cruisers, while Kristin Clauson added six kills, 16 digs and five aces and Haley Patterson had 20 assists.
“We came out focused and strong and were able to dominate Camas the entire match,” said Powers coach Beth Rector. “It was some of the best playing I’ve seen out of my team the entire year, which is excellent.”
In a match to determine the league’s No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, Elkton topped the Cruisers 25-17, 25-9, 25-17.
