Behind the play of tournament MVP Carley Scarbrough, Sarasota Riverview defeated Palm Harbor University 26-24, 25-21 Saturday in the final of the Karl Flammer Ford Invitational held at Clearwater Christian College.
Both teams advanced by winning all three of their matches in Friday's round-robin play. Sarasota Riverview and PHU are both in Class 8A, District 8 and play each other Tuesday.
"If you're going to lose to them I guess this is the time," PHU coach Tara Kuk said.
