Catherine Lhamon keeps the rally alive.

Put the ball in Jaimee Masters hands and the match is done.

Unloading vicious serve after even more vicious serve, the Coupeville High School freshman put a resounding end to both the second and third sets Tuesday, as the Wolf C-Team cruised to a win over visiting Chimacum.

Masters ran off seven straight winners to close the night’s middle set, after already doing some serious damage in the first set.

Enjoying the thrill, she then went one better in the third set, ending the match with eight straight winners off her serve.

Fueled by Masters ace-happy ways, and similar laser shows from Savannah Smith and Catherine Lhamon, the Wolves strolled to a 25-17, 25-8, 25-17 victory.

The win lifts the C-Team to 3-0 on the season, 2-0 in Olympic League play.

Coupeville came out on fire, never trailing in the first two sets, then proved it could rally as well, storming back from eight down to take the final set.

Willow Vick got the Wolves started with a tip for a winner on the first point of the night, and CHS stormed out to a quick 6-0 lead in the first set.

From there, a couple of kills from Maddie Vondrak, strong set-ups from Heidi Clinkscales and a sweet tip for a winner off of the fingertips of Charlotte Nolle, and Coupeville was on cruise control.

Megan Behan ended the opening set with an explosive ace, signalling what was to come from Masters, while Kylie Chernikoff delivered several put-aways while patrolling the net.

While Masters was well, masterful, racking up 29 points on her serve over the course of the match, it was Smith who put together the best stretch of any Wolf.

With CHS facing its only deficit of the night at 10-3 in the third set, the freshman went on a rampage, zinging serves off of Chimacum faces, arms and legs.

Literally, as one Cowboy who took a Smith serve to the chin is likely to look in the mirror tomorrow and see the imprint of a volleyball on the lower half of her face.

Capping things with a laser shot of an ace which split two Cowboys who flinched and grimaced in unison as the ball exploded between them, Smith pulled the Wolves back in front 12-10, and they would never relinquish the lead the rest of the way.

Just to drive the point home, Smith resurfaced when Masters was closing out the match, going high to stuff a shot in a manner reminiscent of how older sister Emma Smith dominates at the net.
