Teammate Hannah Dietrichs added nine digs and four kills, Vicki Ram- vick had five kills and four aces, and Sophia Carlson finished with five digs, four aces and four kills.

St. Helens won the girls’ team title. No. 7 Washington focused on Oregon Associated Press SEATTLE — Chris Petersen is taking No. 7 Washington this week back to the site of argu- ably his more important road vic- tory since becoming the Huskies coach. Washington’s 70-21 thump- ing of Oregon two years ago ended a 12-game losing streak to the Ducks and still resonates in the Pacific Northwest. It made an emphatic statement that the Hus- kies intended on being the domi- nant program in the region again. CROSS-COUNTRY The Daily Astorian HILLSBORO — The Clatsop Shot and Awe shotgun team hosted a trap competition Sept. 29 at the Hillsboro Trap and Skeet Club, and scored the team victory thanks to several individual wins. Three teams participated — Clatsop Shot and Awe, Wood- land and Mid-Valley, and one team member of the Rouge Young Guns. The competition included trap singles and trap doubles. Clat- sop Shot and Awe was well-repre- sented in the winners circle. Lucy English took first place in the ladies division, while Colton McMaster was first and Parker DeForest second in the rookie division. In the senior division, Michael Williams took first and Ian Hull was third. Overall, Clatsop Shot and Awe edged Woodland for first place with a score of 269 to Woodland’s 262. The competition was followed by a bunker trap clinic where the athletes were introduced to a new and exciting shotgun discipline.
