The rivalry between Westminster Christian and Palmer Trinity girls' volleyball teams had another dramatic chapter added to it Saturday.
The Warriors dominated the Second Annual Smoothie King Miami-Dade County Girls' Volleyball Invitational by defeating the Falcons 25-13, 25-23 at Ransom Everglades.
Westminster Christian (15-2) took a quick 13-2 lead in the first set. Coach Julie Doan said the rivalry fueled her team.
``This has been such an intense rivalry the last six to seven years,'' Doan said. ``We were just excited and pumped.''
Westminster Christian's Julie Trembley won the invitational's most valuable player award and had the game-winning kill against Palmer Trinity.
Teammates Rebecca Acevedo and Sylvia Hernandez earned all-tournament honors.
Palmer Trinity (11-2) came out in the second set with a lot more energy and held a 17-13 lead, but Doan called a timeout, which sparked a 12-7 run to end the match.
Palmer Trinity's Savannah Dominguez and Paulina Prieto received all-tournament honors.
