The Rams, the defending champions, were defeated with a score of 25-13, 25-11, 25-17, securing Mount Olive their first MCT title since 2016 and 2017. Sophomore outside hitter Olivia Drucks was the star of the match, recording 16 kills and being named MCT Most Valuable Player. Junior Izabella Osoria contributed with 10 kills, including four crucial ones in the final game. That season, the duo shared a new role, with Osoria setting for Drucks and vice versa. Senior libero Ava Diaz played a crucial role in Mount Olive's defensive performance. \"This has been my dream since freshman year,\" Osoria stated. \"Being able to accomplish it with such an amazing team, it fills my heart. I’m just so proud of this team, knowing how hard everybody worked and how much effort was put into this. It’s truly just amazing.\"",
