Viks
from 1B
though scoring was fair-
ly even during the first
several serve-receives as
both teams found their
footing. However, the
Lady Spartans found
their groove after a few
rallies and began to pull
ahead to carve out a
12-point lead.
Sophomore
Desiree
Tupua helped bring the
team back, serving three
consecutive aces to es-
tablish some forward
momentum and come
within 2 points of tying
the set.
But Marist still man-
aged to eke out a narrow
25-22 victory to take a
1-0 lead in the match.
However, the Vikings
managed to establish the
lead at the start of game
two, thanks to three
thunderous kills from
Tupua, along with a
hard-hit kill from senior
Kya Blake.
The Viks held the lead
through the first 9 points
and seemed to be en
route to tying the match,
but the Spartans had
other ideas, rallying to
tie the game at 9 before
edging into a 10-9 lead.
From there, Marist
never really looked back
as the Spartans held
the Viks to just 5 more
points for an eventual
25-14 win in the second
set — finishing with an
ace.
“I kind of knew com-
ing out, we were going
to be rusty only having
seven days of practice,

and this being our first
game. I expected it,”
said Cole. “We kind of
beat ourselves, though.
We had too many little
errors that could have
been avoided. Just trying
to do too much when we
should have just taken
the easy way out.”
But by the third set,
there was clearly more
fire in the eyes of the
Vikings, sparked by
aces from Zoe Alberty,
Blake and Tupua, who
also had 3 kills and 1
block in the set. Tupua’s
presence and strength
at the net forced Marist
to triple up on defense
in an attempt to block
her nearly unstoppable
spikes.
Cole
noted
that
Tupua’s prowess would
be a big component of
the team’s overall success
this season.
“She's smart,” said
Cole. “As soon as she
saw that triple block go
up, she instantly went
for the tip — and she got
a kill on that. Even those
hits in between those tri-
ple blocks, I was amazed
by it. She's got so much
power.”
The momentum was
all Siuslaw’s in that third
set, with the Vikings
hammering the Spar-
tans for a 25-17 victory
that denied a three-game
sweep by the Marist.
Cole said she was

Unfortunately,
the
Vikings’ lead gradual-
ly evaporated midway
through the set as the
Spartans rallied to take
the fourth set — and the
match — with a 25-17
win.
Siuslaw’s next match-
up is set this Tuesday, at
home against Elmira.
“In a way, it’s good
because it gives us a lit-
tle more practice time
before our next match,”
said Cole. “We’ll make
the most of that time
to prepare and work on
coming out strong from
the first set.”

pleased with the girls’
tenacity in that third
set, where it appeared
the team finally began
to hit its stride. “I know
that third game is what
we're looking for every
single time we come out
and play,” said Cole. “If
we can do that, we'll be
looking pretty good.”
Much like the previous
set, Siuslaw came out of
the gates strong to begin
game four, with Blake
scoring a pair of kills,
along with three from
Tupua. In addition, Al-
berty had two skillfully
placed tips in the set.
“[Zoe] had a few hits at
the net, and then she had
some decent tips in there
as well,” noted Cole. “She
knows where to set and
when to set it; she's not
just going where girls
are calling the ball. She
knows exactly what she's
doing, and that's import-
ant.”
