Orlando’s Top Select 18 Elite Blake team reeled off five consecutive victories en route to the girls 18's Open Division National Championship at the USA Volleyball Junior National Championship on Sunday.

Top Select entered the tournament as the No. 28 seed and had to rally from a set down to knock off San Antonio Magic 18 in the final.



University of Washington signee Shannon Crenshaw earned the tournament most valuable player honors after a standout performance.

“It is amazing,” Crenshaw said. “We came into this just hoping for the best. This is such a great surprise to us. We have worked so hard for the past four years. It is amazing that all the hard work has paid off.”



Crenshaw was joined by Grace Ryan and Johnna Shamely on the all-tournament team.
