The Lehi High School volleyball team entered the 5A tournament as the number six seed. This was the Pioneers first year as a 5A competitor, and they are also a very young team.
In the first round of the competition Lehi stunned Bonneville in three games. They then defeated favored Alta 3 to 1. Number one ranked Timpview was Lehi’s next opponent and Lehi had momentum on their side. The Pioneers beat Timpview 3 games to 1.
On Saturday November 9, the Pioneers filed into the UCCU stadium, undaunted, as they faced Mountain View. The game was a see-saw battle but the Lehi ladies lost to the eventual state champions 3-0. They played Salem Hills to determine the 3-4 place winners and beat Salem Hills in three games.
