The alumni are launching kills and aces once again.
Coupeville grads Lyla Stuurmans and Mia Farris kicked off their second season of college volleyball with a busy weekend on the courts.
Skagit Valley College and Whatcom College both played four matches to open the 2026 campaign, with two each on Friday and Saturday.
Stuurmans and SVC went 2-2 at the North Region Invite, knocking off Pierce and South Puget Sound, while being edged by Highline and Rogue.
Meanwhile, Whatcom College, sparked by Farris, also split its four tilts while playing the same opponents.
The Orcas bounced Rogue and Pierce but came up just short against SPS and Highline.
Farris, who has moved to the libero position as a sophomore, piled up a team-high 64 digs to go with 11 assists and four service aces across her opening weekend.
Stuurmans was likely pounding the ball in her contests, but the Cardinals have yet to post stats as of Sunday morning. To which we say, boo.
Both former Wolves return to action next week, with SVC playing next on August 26 while Whatcom hits the floor again on August 28.
