They dropped the hammer. Again and again.
Pounding out serves with precision, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball spikers scorched visiting Mount Vernon Christian in straight sets Tuesday, sweeping to their second win in as many matches.
Now the Wolves carry that pristine 2-0 record into another home Northwest 2B/1B League match Thursday, when Orcas Island visits Whidbey.
Facing off with MVC, all nine Wolves in uniform filled up the stat sheet, which kept coach Ashley Menges beaming long into the night.
“It went really well!,” she said. “The girls played great throughout all three sets; our serving was very clean and yet really aggressive.
“Everyone played really well in all aspects whether it was clean passing or putting the ball away,” Menges added. “I asked of them to make the third set the best volleyball they could, and they definitely delivered!
While everyone delivered solid performances for the Wolves, fab frosh Madison McMillan was a particular focal point, compiling a team-high five kills, two service aces, and two digs.
“Madison had a great night!,” Menges said. “She had some powerful swings tonight, but my favorite was a perfectly placed out of system kill.
“The kid had some great passes and serve receptions; I’m very happy with how she played tonight.”
Fellow freshman Taylor Brotemarkle dazzled with six assists and a staggering 11 aces, while Issabel Johnson (three digs, three aces) and Katie Marti (three kills, two assists, three aces) were also on top of their game.
Mia Farris (two kills, three aces), Gwen Gustafson (three kills, two aces), Aby Wood (one kill), Jada Heaton (one ace), and Grey Peabody (one kill) also chipped in to the splendid team-wide effort.
