Different town, same big win.
Less than 24 hours after polishing off a private school foe, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad went to Seattle Tuesday and repeated the feat.
The victim this time was The Bush School, which welcomed the Wolves to Floyd Webb Court, then got promptly swept right off the floor.
With the 25-19, 25-15, 25-14 non-conference victory, Coupeville runs its winning streak to six straight, getting to 7-4 on the season.
Next up is a trip Thursday to Darrington for a Northwest 2B/1B League clash.
Win there, and the Wolves bounce back into third-place in the NWL standings heading into the final week of the regular season.
Tuesday night might not have been a conference clash, but it was a good test for the Wolves as they find their stride.
“It was a great trip for the varsity, and I’m proud of the way we made the space ours,” said Coupeville coach Cory Whitmore.
“From the start of the first set to the end of the third, our group really commanded the tempo of the game, the energy and therefore the score.”

The Wolves played with precision, something their mentor likes seeing.
“It was another very clean game – really great to be so low-error on the attack when on the road,” Whitmore said.
“(Setter) Katie (Marti) did a great job moving the ball around and kept hitters in strong positions to be smart with the ball.”
The attack started with strong work at the service line, as the Wolves rained down pain on their hosts.
“We went after them serving – all six of our servers registered aces,” Whitmore said. “And when it didn’t result in an ace, they were well-placed, keeping the Blazers offense off-balance.
“Tough to be so efficient on the road and then our defense picked up their big hitter really well, limiting her effectiveness and any chance at an offense.”
