After dropping the first two sets, 26-24 and 25-23, PDB won three straight, 25-17, 25-17, and 15-12, to complete the reverse sweep and earn a winners bracket semifinal matchup with top-seeded CJI. Cascade looked in control early, edging PDB in two tight sets to open the match. The third seed regrouped from there, running away with the third and fourth sets by identical 25-17 scores before holding on in the deciding fifth set. The result drops Cascade into the losers bracket, where the Badgers will try to fight their way back to a possible rematch with PDB. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/55/cd/55cdb1c0-f3e5-421a-aa92-b5ab96e31797/content/images/2026/10/318_7Z8A1430.jpg) Gilbert swings at the net during PDB's 3-2 win over Cascade.

CJI, the top seed with a first-round bye, opened its tournament with a straight-set quarterfinal win over Simms, 25-15, 25-21, 25-23, without senior Brynn Kammerzell, who sat out with a sprained ankle. The Hawks leaned on a deep supporting cast in her absence. Sophomore Audrey Young, junior Scarlet Sundgren, sophomore Brooke Streit, senior Brie Mattson, sophomore Timber Hull, and senior setter Piper Erickson all had strong matches. Senior co-liberos Mercedes Riggin and Kyra Anderson anchored the back row, while junior Parker Kantorowicz started in Kammerzell's spot and sophomore Kingslee Horel also saw time there. CJI has not dropped a set to a district opponent this season, and its only sets lost in regular-season play came against Northern C rival Belt. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/55/cd/55cdb1c0-f3e5-421a-aa92-b5ab96e31797/content/images/2026/10/114_7Z8A1363.jpg) Junior Parker Kantorowicz (13) takes the floor during CJI's starting lineup introductions before the Hawks' win over Simms.
