Viks
from 1B
South Umpqua. Brookings-
Harbor is alone in sixth and last
place at 0-2.
“I thought the girls showed a
lot of fight throughout the
match,” Vikings coach Angie
Herring said. “They just kept
going after it. They didn’t give
up, and they played great
defense against a good team.”
Aside for the third game,
when the Pirates raced to a 7-0
lead and won handily, neither
team found it particularly easy
to impose their will.
Marshfield led only 17-16 in
the decisive fourth game before
putting down the hammer, win-
ning eight of the final nine
points for the match.
The Pirates broke from a 17-
all tie to take Game 1 with an 8-
1 run, and the Vikings took the
lead at 11-10 in Game 2 and
never looked back.
The
backbreaker
was
Marshfield’s 7-0 run to start
Game 3.
“It’s hard to beat a good
team when you allow a spurt
like that,” Herring said. “But
I’m proud of them. They really
kept going after it.”
Outside
hitter
Hailey
Woolsey was the big gun for
the Pirates, with 22 kills and
five aces. Fellow outside hitter
McKenzie Allison had 12 kills
and setter Shaylynn Jensen had
36 assists and 14 digs.
For the Vikings, junior
Elyssa Rose had eight kills and
Emma Collins seven kills.
“We also had nine service
errors. It wasn’t pretty,”
Herring said. “Our serving was
a little off tonight, but our pass-
ing was a bigger thing.
“(The Pirates) are tough
servers, which throws off our
game. Our service receive pass-
ing wasn’t there.”
Herring also praised senior
setter Hannah Bartlett.
“Hannah played some great
defense, and she was moving to
the ball well,” Herring said.
“She was picking up all kinds
of tips for us.”
Montiel concurred.
“Their little red-headed set-
ter is quick, and all over the
place,” she said. “Just when
you think a ball is going to be
down, there she is, popping it
up.”
Both Herring and Montiel
have reason to believe their
teams still will be alive in the
postseason.
“I think Siuslaw has a great
chance to be in the playoffs,”
Montiel said. “Rose is mobile
and puts up a big block. No. 7
(Collins) presents a big block
for our outside hitters.
“They got a lot of pieces (for
a playoff run).”

Sailors
Nicol. The Sailors maintained a
lead all the way until 18-13,
when Eddyville stormed back to
tie the game at 21, prompting a
Mapleton timeout.
“We knew we could win it if
we stayed pumped,” said
Richards, who scored 10 kills, 14
attaches and five aces in the
game. “Then everything just
started clicking for us.”
The Sailors came back to win
the next two points before taking
the set, 25-23.
The positive momentum con-
tinued for the Sailors, who
scored six unanswered points to
open the fourth game, three of
them on aces from Richards.
While Eddyville had a couple of
short rallies, they never threat-
ened as Mapleton took the fourth
game 25-19 to tie the match at 2-
2.
The final set was all Sailors,
who easily downed the Eagles,
15-5, with freshman Haley Wells
delivering the final blow for the
win.
Nicol had two kills, two aces
and seven attacks for the Sailors.
Gierke had four aces; Weber had
one kill two aces and a pair of
attacks; Wells had three aces and
one kill.

from 1B
said she tried to think of the first
two games as a warm-up. “We
kept our spirits high, and kept
focused so we could find their
weak spots instead of thinking
about ours.”
That positivity proved to be
the momentum Mapleton need-
ed. The Sailors quickly estab-
lished a 15-6 lead on kills from
junior Josi Hays, freshman
Destiny Weber, Richards and
