Lady Cards split w eek’s play By Anne Morter The lone Lady Cardi nals split their games last week with a league win over Echo early in the week and a non-league loss to Dufur at the end. The lone team is 9-9 overall, 4-1 in league play entering the final week of the regular season. On Tuesday, Oct. 9, the Cardinals traveled to Echo and, while still battling the lingering effects of the ill nesses that have plagued them of late, took care of their hosts in four games, 25-17,26-24,24-26 and 25- 17. Lacey Thompson had nine kills and four blocks, while Emily Holland tallied seven kills. Stacee Halvors- en was 14-14 serving in the match with two aces. “We had no stamina,” noted Coach Dawn Eynet- ich. “We would get ahead by a few points and then die.” With that said, she was glad to get out of Echo with a win. “We needed a good win.” On Thursday, Oct. 11, the Cards hosted Dufur, currently the number one team in the state based on the OSAA's RP1 rankings. Dufur claimed the match in straight sets 25-14, 25-18, 25-10. The Lady Cardinals struggled with consistency and communication in the match. On the bright side, th eir serving was good with only two missed in the match. The Cards have an im portant league match in Fossil on Thursday, Oct. 18, against the Big Sky East leader, Condon/Wheeler/ Arlington. If they defeat the Knights, that would put them in a tie for first in the BSE and would force a tie breaker against Con- don/Wheeler/Arlington on Tuesday, Oct. 23. If they are not successful, that will set them up with a cross league play-in match with the Big Sky West's number-three team on Thursday, Oct. 25. The winner would advance to the Big Sky D istrict Tournament set for Satur day, Oct. 27, at Hermiston High School.
