Despite losing back-to-back five-game matches to Fernley and Dayton, Fallon needed to sweep both Elko and Spring Creek and for Lowry to lose its remaining matches against the same opponents. It came down to the final day after Spring Creek defeated Lowry and Fallon handed Elko a four-game loss on Wednesday. However, Lowry swept Elko on Thursday while Spring Creek swept Fallon to end the Lady Wave’s season.
Fallon finished 4-6 in the 3A East.
Fernley (8-2) finished the second half of the season strong to win the regular-season league title after rebounding with a 3-1 win at Dayton on Thursday. Dayton’s 6-4 record sealed the second seed while Spring Creek (5-5) is the third seed.
