The only thing dropping from the skies Monday was the occasional lob.
After scattered rain showers postponed their match last week, the Coupeville High School netters were able to make the short trek to South Whidbey, but fell just short of returning with a win.
Sweeping all three doubles matches, the Falcons escaped with a razor-thin 3-2 win, dropping the Wolves to 1-6 in Emerald City League play.
The all-Island rumble kicks off a busy week for Coupeville, which is scheduled to play four times in five days.
The Wolves travel to Kirkland Tuesday to face Eastside Prep, then are home Thursday (University Prep) and Friday (The Bush School).
