After a time out by Dunman, Cherie (Cedar #14) fired off an ace. Cedar then took the next two points to lead 13-9. It seemed like Cedar would seal the set, but Dunman spiked to the left corner to catch Cedar off guard. Dunman then narrowed the score gap to two points after Cedar deflected their spike out of bounds. Dunman came within one point after the Dunman #6 spiked to the left corner once again, only to have Celia (Cedar #1) deflect it out.
A time out by Cedar seemed to calm the players as Guting (Cedar #6) brought the team to match point after a good spike. Claire (Cedar #9) could not seal the match for the team at the next rally as she spiked out of bounds. It was Guting (Cedar #6) who took home the match for the team after diving to receive a shot, before sending it straight down the line to the left corner, sending the defending champions into another championship final.
Cedar Girls will meet Nanyang Girls High in a mouth-watering final on Thursday, 8 April, 3pm at Woodlands Sports Hall.
Dunman will play Chung Cheng High (Yishun) in the 3/4th placing match on Wednesday, 7 April, 1.30pm at CCAB.
