The Tigers took set one 25-6, set two 25-14, and set three 25-15.

Head Coach Amy Sterup.
"We were looking for the intensity and just making sure that we're playing our game, and we need to be at the top level, this is the time. It's do or die basically now. So we just need to make sure that we keep our energy up no matter who's on the other side."
North Bend Central (27-2) takes on Lincoln Christian (23-5) in the C1-8 District Final at Wahoo Saturday afternoon.
The Crusaders lost 3-1 to undefeated Malcolm in the C1-2 Sub-District Final at Lincoln East Tuesday night.
Lincoln Christian appears to be the real deal, but the Tigers are a really good team too.
This should be a really good match between two pretty equal teams.
North Bend Central has the better record, but the Crusaders have played some really tough teams.
Lincoln Christian's losses are to Bishop Neumann, GICC, Omaha Concordia (twice), and the aforementioned Clippers.
I feel both teams are battle tested, and that should make for a great match.
I don't know who's going to win...it's tough to call.
The Tigers have had a great season, and if they could make it to state, it would be a really big deal for this program.
North Bend Central has to fight and claw for every point, and be focused on every serve.
The Tigers have to play hard all the way through the match, and do everything they possibly can to win.
Avery Dolliver and Ashlyn Power are the Lincoln Christian players to watch out for if you are North Bend Central.
Dolliver has 328 kills on the season while Power has 215. Power also has 496 set assists.
This is a very good Crusaders' squad, but I think North Bend Central has the potential to win.
I think there's a fairly decent chance this match goes five sets.
Nothing would surprise me in this match though given the way sporting games go these days.
The Tigers have to give it their all and leave everything out on the floor. North Bend Central has to play the way they did in Sub-Districts.
First serve is set for 2:00 p.m. at Wahoo High School. The match can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
