Clackamas did its best to try and hang but Reeser and Christopher were too much as Basin enjoyed another mid-set run of 8-1. Reeser and middle Camille Collins put the cap on the set for the 25-20 final and the 3-0 win.

CBC will face off against Bellevue in a rematch of last year's regional championship game where CBC downed the Bulldogs in Bellevue to advance to the Elite 8. Both teams have met once this season with Bellevue escaping with a 3-2 win. First whistle is scheduled for 10am. Win and advance to the Elite 8, the loser will get another chance with a match against the winner of Lower Columbia and Clackamas.
