They like the aces.

The high-flying Coupeville High School volleyball squad has roared to a league title and a 9-3 record thanks in large part to its success at the service stripe.

The Wolves have six players who handle serving duties, and all of them land in the top 15 among 1A players for aces.

CHS junior Hope Lodell tops all 1A spikers whose teams have reported stats to MaxPreps, and her 72 aces is fourth-best across all divisions (1B-4A).

The three girls ahead of her have a huge advantage, with each having played 8-14 more sets and uncorked 36-87 more service attempts.

Lodell hits aces on 37.9% of her serves, the highest percentage by anyone in the top 10.

Coupeville stacks up quite nicely with other teams when you compare stats other than aces, as well.

Seven Wolves are currently among the top 20 performers in 1A in at least one stat category, with five of those spikers showing up in two categories.

Valen Trujillo (#5 in digs) and Payton Aparicio (#5 in aces) join Lodell in cracking the top five in a category.
