While still seeking their first win, the Wolves have stayed united.
Both teams had a zero in their records before the match, and both still do.
Unfortunately, that means the Coupeville High School volleyball squad couldn’t overcome powerful Klahowya Tuesday night and exited Silverdale still seeking its first win of the season.
The 25-14, 25-10, 27-25 victory lifted the host Eagles to 9-0 overall, 1-0 in Olympic League play. The Wolves sank to 0-6, 0-1.
Coupeville, which has had huge chunks of down time lately, with just one match in a three-week period, will get a fast turnaround this time.
The Wolves kick off the second half of their 12-match schedule with a non-conference tilt against Darrington (7-1) Wednesday. JV plays at 5:00 PM, varsity at 6:15.
They then get back to league play the very next night, capping three matches in three days when Chimacum (1-4) visits. The Cowboys don’t have a JV, so varsity will slide up into the 5 PM slot.
With five league matches to play (two against Port Townsend (5-2) and Chimacum and a rematch with Klahowya) before the regular season wraps Oct. 28, Coupeville still has an excellent shot at making the playoffs.
All it has to do is find a win or two.
Facing off with the most formidable of their league foes Tuesday, the Wolves got stronger near the end of the match, while getting big contributions from several players.
Senior Hailey Hammer paced CHS with six kills, three blocks and six digs, while Madeline Strasburg nailed four kills and went low for 11 digs.
Valen Trujillo record a team-high 12 digs while freshman setter Lauren Rose doled out 13 assists and piled up six digs of her own.
