The East High School volleyball team gets pumped before their match against Dimond on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at Service. Dimond won in three sets.

The semifinal and championship matches are still to come in the Cook Inlet Conference volleyball tournament, but on Thursday the Dimond Lynx won the match the matters most of all -- the one that guarantees them a spot in next week's Class 4A state tournament.

Dimond dispatched East in three sets, prevailing 25-15, 25-20, 25-15 in the day's only winners' bracket game. The win gives the Lynx one of the three state berths at stake in the CIC tournament.
