CLC dropped 3-0 matches to Anoka-Ramsy (eventual runner-up) and Hibbing (fifth place finisher and regional qualifier). The Raiders needed to beat Hibbing for the consolation championship to have advanced. Since 2000, CLC has missed the nationals only in 2002, 2008 and 2010. Against Hibbing, all-tournament choice Melissa Widman (pictured) had seven kills, two aces and seven digs and Jenna Terhaar added six kills, two aces, six digs and a block to lead CLC.
