The Lone Peak volleyball team wrapped up the region title Tuesday night with a three-game sweep over American Fork.

Not that the Cavemen made it easy. After struggling to score in the first game, American Fork gave a great effort in Games 2 and 3 but couldn't quite overtake the confident Knights, playing at home on Senior Night.

The fans were treated to some impressive volleys during the contest, ultimately won by Lone Peak 25-12, 25-19, 25-16.

The middle game included nine ties and was neck-and-neck until the scores reached the high teens, when the Knights slowly pulled away to get the win.

Everyone contributed to the victory for Lone Peak. The middles had a particularly good night, as Hillary Olsen had seven kills with one error and Ashton Gray converted 6-of-8 kills with no errors.

Faith Tusieseina led the attack with eight kills, while Lacey Cramer had six with nine digs. Lacey Laycock had 26 assists and six aces.

"That's a very good team that's well coached," said American Fork coach Danette Moea'i. "They deserve to be where they are."

For the Cavemen, libero Brooke Miller led a fine defensive effort with 17 digs. Makenzie Moea'i had eight kills and nine digs in a solid outing, and Miri Sachs had four kills off the bench.

"They're probably one of the most scrappy teams we've played all season," said Lone Peak coach Deanna Meyer. "They just don't let balls drop. They're a great defensive team.

"That Makenzie is a fabulous player. She really had a great match tonight," Meyer said.

As for her own team, they've now achieved one of their goals for the season.

"I think that they're excited to win the region championship outright for the second time," she continued.

"The fact that we haven't lost a game in region play shows how they've stepped up their games and the caliber of athletes that we have.

This is a well-rounded team," Meyer added. "We have a lot of players contributing to our success, not just one or two people. If someone's having an off day, there's someone there to help her out."

The Knights (9-0, 23-2) close out the region season Thursday at Lehi and have a non-league match scheduled for Saturday with Snow Canyon.

The Cavemen (6-3, 16-7) are tied with Pleasant Grove for second place. If both teams win out Thursday, they will have a coin toss to decide the second and third seeds into the state tournament, set for Nov. 2-3 at UVSC.
