It was a chiller and a thriller.
And it ended exactly the way the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad wanted it to — with the Wolves headed back to the ferry after clinching their ninth straight win.
Outlasting host Orcas Island across three tense sets of action-packed spikes and aces, CHS claimed a 25-23, 25-23, 16-14 victory Tuesday in its road finale.
That sends Coupeville home boasting a 9-1 record in Northwest 2B/1B League action, 11-1 overall.
Up next is the last match of the season for the young spikers, with the Wolf JV hosting non-conference foe Sultan Monday, Nov. 4.
As she and her team bounced across the water and backroads of America on their (long) way home from Orcas, CHS coach Ashley Menges basked in adding another win to her team’s glossy record.
“I’m obviously very happy with how it went,” she said. “We’ve been learning a lot of lessons this season and it seems like everything just keeps clicking.
“Skills are developing and team dynamics are getting better with every game so I’m very proud,” Menges added.
“Lots of growth this season, and we have one more to get even better!”
