Spikers one, gridiron warriors zero.
Of the five former Coupeville High School athletes competing in college sports this week, only one came away a winner.
That was Monica Vidoni, who saw action as her Rainy River Community College volleyball squad rolled to wins Oct. 7 against Hibbing and Oct. 9 against Fond du Lac.
None of her former classmates could say the same Saturday, as three teams, featuring four former Wolves, all fell in college football games.
Central Washington University and former CHS lineman Nick Streubel lost 49-44 to the South Dakota School of Mines, snapping their three-game winning streak.
Also taking a loss was Simon Fraser University, which was edged 38-35 by Dixie State.
The Clan boast two Wolf alumni, Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin, and Bayne snared a tackle from his defensive back position.
Rounding out the Coupeville contingent was Mitch Pelroy, who brought back a kick-off 37 yards and had a tackle in Montana Western’s 37-30 overtime loss to second-ranked Southern Oregon.
It was the second straight loss for the Bulldogs, who had previously put together a seven-game winning streak covering parts of two seasons.
While her male counterparts are a combined 6-9 this year (Western is 3-2, Central 3-3 and Simon Fraser 0-4), Vidoni and her Voyageurs teammates are 14-11 on the season, 6-3 in conference play.
Vidoni, a freshman, has played in 11 sets over seven matches, compiling four kills and a dig.
