Lindenmeyer and Paige Fannon (East Peoria, Ill./HS) combined for six kills and one error in helping Eureka coast to a 25-14 win in the fourth set to force a fifth and decisive frame. Fannon was one of three Red Devils in double figures in kills with 10. She also accounted for three of her team's six blocks. Lindenmeyer had nine kills and two service aces to go with her match-high 21 digs. Durley ended with eight kills and just two errors in 28 swings.
