CLASS 4A
East Ridge 3, Minnetonka 0: Paige Belfield, Adaora Zebulun and Brynlee Opland each tallied 10 kills while Alexis Opland had 34 assists as the third-seeded Raptors handled business with a 25-20, 25-18, 25-13 quarterfinal victory at Xcel Energy Center.
East Ridge (25-6) did not trail at any point in the match. It will face second-seeded Champlin Park at 11 a.m. in Thursday’s semifinals after the Rebels downed Anoka in straight sets.
