This week, Siuslaw’s volleyball team faced
an unusual three-game week for its final com-
petitions of the season. On Tuesday (March
30), the Lady Vikings hosted Junction City,
which was tied for first place with Cottage
Grove. The Tigers were able to come away
with a win in three sets, although Siuslaw put
up a solid fight.
Then on Wednesday, the girls hosted
Marshfield for a rescheduled rematch. Their
first win against Marshfield a week earlier
was the first win against the Pirates in several
years, so the team went into Wednesday’s re-
match feeling confident.
“That was one of the better games we’ve
played,” said coach Ashlee Cole. “In terms of

Tuesday (March 30), Mapleton volleyball
hosted Crow for a match that began with the
Lady Sailors honoring its three seniors, which
included Briena Jensen, Emily Stevens and
Heather Wierichs. The girls were supported
by their families and loved ones, sharing their
most memorable and cherished moments as
volleyball players for the Sailors.
Mapleton put in an incredible effort in the
match. However, an injury at the end of the
first set put the Sailors at a major disadvantage

continues to be slow on the
