Only the siren call of the ferry could slow them down.

Playing second Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad destroyed host Friday Harbor 25-7 in the opening set of their match.

Then the Wolves had to skedaddle, as the clock was running down, the Washington State ferry system was unreliable, and no one wanted to stay on a strange chunk of rock an extra night.

While the match was shorter than anticipated, the win lifts Coupeville’s second unit to 2-0 overall, 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play.

Next up is a home match Thursday against Mount Vernon Christian, with the promise that ferries won’t matter, and the entire rumble will go down before anyone has to call it quits.

Coupeville coach Ashley Menges would have liked to have seen her squad stay on the floor longer but was philosophical about things.

“It was good, we got to get a lot of players in, and we were just lucky we got to play at all,” she said.
