Only one Arizona school got a shot this weekend at the eventual winner of the elite (Platinum) bracket at the Nike Tournament of Champions Volleyball Invite contested in the Valley.

Corona del Sol managed a three-set victory Friday in pool play over nationally-ranked Marymount CA (Los Angeles). Save that, no one could subdue the Sailors as they beat higher-ranked Mater Dei, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon in the final of the Platinum bracket at the Kroc Center in Phoenix.

Marymount, situated 13th in MaxPreps Xcellent 25 rankings early this week, knocked off top-ranked Cathedral Catholic CA in cross bracket play and then took down North Raleigh Christian NC, Mira Costa CA and No. 3-ranked Mater Dei. The Sailors posted a 6-1 mark in its seven tournament matches.

Two Arizona teams earned spots in the Platinum bracket by winning cross-bracket matches early Saturday -- 6A Hamilton and 5A Horizon. Hamilton defeated Corona del Sol in three sets and ultimately finished fourth in the bracket. The Huskies lost the third-place match to Mira Costa CA. Horizon bested Desert Vista in three sets, but settled for eighth place losing its three Platinum matches to -- Mira Costa, North Raleigh Christian and Hagerty FL.

6A Desert Vista, 6A Corona del Sol, 6A Xavier Prep and 5A Sunnyslope all qualified for the eight-team Gold bracket.  Desert Vista placed third beating its region rival Corona del Sol. Xavier finished sixth and Sunnyslope was eighth.
