Clatsop SMASHED; Gulls sweep Astoria
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
The Seaside Lady Gulls
took another small step Tues-
day night, and one giant leap
for the volleyball program.
For the irst time since
2010, the Gulls have more
than one ‘W’ in the Cowapa
League win column.
Seaside scored its sec-
ond league victory of the sea-
son, a three-game sweep over
Astoria at the Brick House,
25-21, 25-14, 29-27 — a pos-
itive step for a program that
had just four total victories
in league play from 2011 to
2015.
It wasn’t perfect, said
Seaside coach Angie Hunts-
man, but any win is nice in
the Cowapa League.
“We did some good things
tonight, but we also had some
mental lapses that we can’t
afford to have,” she said.
“We need to minimize those.
Too many service errors,
and too many communica-
tion errors on things that we
should have control over.”
Maddi Utti pounded out
20 kills, and Jetta Ideue had
22 digs and six kills for the
Gulls.
Seaside’s last three league
wins have come over the Lady
Fishermen, who came close
to winning their irst game in
league play this season, but
lost a late lead in Game 3.

Madi Landwehr of Astoria blocks the ball after a spike by
Seaside’s Jetta Ideue on Tuesday at Astoria High School.
“Astoria played scrappy
tonight,” Huntsman said.
“They deinitely looked bet-
ter than the last time we
played them. In our league,
anything can happen on any
given night. You have to
come out ready to play your
game every night. We talk a
lot about that — not who’s on
the other side of the net.”
Game 1 was back-and-
forth, with 10 ties and sev-
eral lead changes. The largest
lead was four points, which
the Gulls scored at game
point.
Utti had her best game
of the night, hammering out
seven kills, while Anna Hud-
dleston set up kills for Tori
Tomlin and Alyssia Gonzales
to help snap a 19-19 tie.
Annaka Garhofer’s ser-
vice ace made it 23-20, and
Utti had a kill at game point.
Seaside led from start to
inish in Game 2, in which
the Gulls jumped out to a 7-0
lead.
Two stuff blocks by Asto-
ria’s Jacqueline Jarrett had
Astoria within 8-7, but Sea-
side reeled off an 11-2 run
from there, thanks to some
hot serving from Ideue, who
had four aces in ive serves.
Ideue also capped the
rally with an off-speed kill
for a 19-9 lead.
The Lady Fish saved their
best for last, in Game 3.
Consecutive ace serves by
Jarrett had Astoria in front
7-6, and Darian Hageman
had a kill to break an 18-18
tie.
Madi Landwehr set up
Hageman for a tap over
the net and a 20-18 advan-
tage, and a kill off the block
by Aurora Grafton made it
22-19.
But it wasn’t to be for
Astoria.
A service error by the
Fishermen, a kill by Gonza-
les, and a rotation error on
Astoria helped the Gulls tie it
at 22-22.
The two teams followed
with ties at 23, 24, 25, 26 and
27.
An off-speed kill by Utti
made it 28-27, and the Gulls
inished off a long rally —
and the match — with a kill
off a block by Utti, and an
assist from Huddleston.
Gonzales added 10 kills
for Seaside, Utti had 21 digs
and four blocks, and Gar-
hofer inished with four ace
serves.
Junior varsity: Seaside
def. Astoria, 25-22, 16-25,
20-25, 25-15, 16-14.
Faith Bible rallies for ive-game win
The Daily Astorian
KNAPPA — The Faith
Bible volleyball team did
something no Northwest
League team has been able to
do this season at Knappa —
the Falcons posted a win over
the Loggers, in ive games.
Faith Bible had to rally
from a two games-to-none
deicit to win Tuesday’s
match, 13-25, 17-25, 25-17,
25-23, 15-8. The victory
keeps the Falcons in second
place in the league standings
at 7-1 (behind Gaston’s 8-0).
Knappa drops to 5-3 (4-1 at
home).
“I was pretty happy with
how we played for most of the
match,” said Knappa coach
Jeff Kaul. “We deinitely
showed we can compete at
this level. We just need to ig-
ure out how we can maintain
that level of competitiveness
to inish the match.”
The Loggers missed 17
serves, which hurt their cause.
On the plus side, Kaul said,
“We logged 23 kills, so that is
a good sign that our hitting
also continues to improve.”
After dominating the irst
two games, the momentum
shifted in Game 3, Faith Bible
winning by eight points.
Game 4 was close through-
out before the Falcons man-
aged to score the inal two
points to even the match.
Strong serving in Game 5
helped Faith Bible inish off
the match.
Kaitlyn Landwehr’s all-
around game for Knappa
was highlighted by nine digs,
nine kills, eight assists and
two blocks; Alisha Murphy
was 18-of-20 serving with
three aces; and Paris Vander-
burg added six assists and six
kills.
Jaden Miethe led the Log-
gers with 15 digs.

SOCCER
Scappoose slips by Astoria, 3-2
SCAPPOOSE — It will be a wild race in the second half of the
Cowapa League boys soccer season, with every game crucial in the
league standings.
Scappoose scored a big victory Tuesday afternoon, as the Indi-
ans got past Astoria 3-2 on the Indians’ home ield.
Scappoose (2-1-1) remains in second place behind Tillamook
(4-0), while Astoria drops to 1-3 with another four games remain-
ing for all three teams.
The Fishermen begin the second half of league play Thurs-
day at Valley Catholic, then inish with three-straight home games
(Seaside, Tillamook and Scappoose).
Scappose edges Astoria girls
The Scappoose and Astoria girls soccer teams played one of
their closest matches in years Tuesday night at CMH Field.
And while the Indians won again, the Lady Fishermen threw a
scare into 11th-ranked Scappoose, which escaped with a 2-0 victory.
In two games last year, Scappoose outscored Astoria 16-0; and
the Indians defeated the Lady Fish by 9-0 and 8-0 scores in 2013.
With the win, Scappoose improves to 4-1 and keeps pace with
irst place Valley Catholic (5-0), while Astoria slips to 1-3-1 and
hosts the Valiants Thursday.

Warrenton sweeps Riverdale
WARRENTON — The Warrenton Lady Warriors inished their
home season with a three-game sweep over Riverdale Tuesday,
25-17, 25-19, 25-19.
Following a forfeit win over De La Salle Saturday and Tues-
day’s victory, the Warriors are within a half-game of Catlin Gabel
for ifth place in the Lewis & Clark League standings.
The Warriors have road matches at Clatskanie (2-6) and Rainier
(8-0) to inish the league season.
“It was a good way to end the home season,” said Warren-
ton coach Jim Hackwith. “Asia Lambert did a great job serving
tonight, especially when we needed it. She was 14-for-15, and
served out Game 3.”
Elsewhere, “Katey (Blodgett) and Landree both had great
matches at the net,” he said, with Miethe leading Warrenton with
11 kills. Blodgett was 15-of-16 on attack, with four kills.
Lambert was also 12-for-12 on digs.
