The Rams (17-8) swept Acaciawood in their first-round contest.

Quotable:

Marshall Fundamental coach, Jeff Thai: “Our girls started off a bit nervous, but when they found their footing, they played like how we expected them to. Everything just seemed to click tonight. We’re going to enjoy this win tonight, but come back in tomorrow and get ready for our next battle. Our near sold-out crowd was amazing. Our school admins and trachers along with our cheerleaders were all in the stands rooting for our players. It was spectacular.”

Records: Ganesha (12-11); Marshall Fundamental (22-8)
