High Line swept Seaside 25-23, 25-22 to win the 18 Club Division gold-medal match.

“I thought it was a wonderful turnout,” USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal said. “The stands were packed and the energy level was high for the teams to compete in. In both championship matches, there were two talented teams and it is sad that a team has to lose.”
