The first match is in the books.

Coupeville High School grad Chelsea Prescott made her college volleyball debut Friday night, racking up major floor time as Medaille College opened play at the University of Rochester Invitational.

The Mavericks fell in straight sets against the Rochester Institute of Technology, losing 25-16, 25-15, 25-13.

Prescott and Co. get a chance to bounce right back with two matches Saturday in New York as the six-team tourney wraps play.

Medaille is scheduled to face Smith College in the morning, and the tourney hosts in the afternoon.

Prescott, a three-sport star and Athlete of the Year winner during her time at CHS, racked up six kills, six digs, and a block assist in her college debut.

Mica Shipley went to Paradise.

The Coupeville High School grad officially kicked off her second season as an NCAA D-1 cheerleader Thursday, as Eastern Washington University topped host University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Playing in front of 21,000 fans at the still fairly-new Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, the Eagles held off UNLV 35-33 in double overtime, denying a game-tying two-point conversion on the final play.

The game was held in a $1.9 billion arena, known informally as “The Death Star,” which also houses home games for the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.

Shipley’s high school cheer coach, BreAnna Boon, was thrilled to see her high-flying star holding down the big-time spotlight, a payoff for all her hard work.

“Mica friggin killed it!,” Boon said. “Her coach said that she had the most infectious spirit on the team.

“I am so proud of her! She’s living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.

“She has dreamed of being a college cheerleader for so long, so to be able to see her living her dreams out, it’s just completely heart warming!”

Shipley fires up Eastern Washington University supporters.

She’s official.

With Media Day out of the way, Medaille College in Buffalo just posted its 2021 volleyball roster, and Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott is on there, proudly beaming.

The freshman outside hitter, a three-sport supernova in her Wolf days, is one of nine players listed for the Mavericks.

Medaille opens its season with a game against its alumni next Tuesday, Aug. 31, then flies into regular-season play.

The Mavericks have 23 matches scheduled, starting with an appearance at the University of Rochester Invitational Sept. 3-4.

Prescott and her new teammates tip off against the Rochester Institute of Technology on day one, then play Smith College and the tourney hosts in a Saturday doubleheader.

Growing up in Coupeville, where she was named CHS Female Athlete of the Year as a senior, Chelly was a standout volleyball, basketball, baseball, and softball player.

She went to the state tourney with volleyball and softball, and helped lead the Wolf diamond squad to a 12-0 season during a pandemic-altered senior campaign.

Lippo, Llamas still cream of the crop

Always be ready.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo had a busy weekend on the baseball diamond, showcasing his fleet feet, while also getting an unexpected chunk of work on the mound.

Friday, the former Wolf dashed home from third on a short pop-up in the ninth inning, tying the game and giving his Lynnwood Llamas hardball squad new life.

Once in extra innings, Lippo and Co. pulled out an 11-10 win over the Salem Salamanders in Cascade Collegiate League action.

While the victory, Lynnwood’s 13th of the summer, clinches a winning record for the Llamas, Saturday’s follow-up didn’t go quite as nicely.

Primed to play a doubleheader with the Salamanders, Lynnwood found itself in a bit of a bind when none of the team’s pitchers showed.

As in … absolutely none.

But after flipping some players around, including bringing Lippo in from center field to pitch, the Llamas put up a spirited fight while falling 6-2 and 3-2.

The losses drop Lynwood to 13-4 on the season, but the team remains atop the league standings.

Lippo threw five innings, scattering four hits while whiffing four Salamanders and giving up just a lone walk.

At the plate, he picked up a pair of hits, knocked in a run, and scored one during the weekend series.

The wood bat-using Cascade Collegiate League, which draws players from NCAA and NAIA schools, is a six-team conference with a 24-game schedule which runs between June and August.

Lippo will be a sophomore at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

Lippo-led Llamas livin’ large

They beat the heat, and won the weekend.

Playing on scorching fields in Hoquiam, Coupeville grad Joey Lippo and the Lynnwood Llamas baseball squad stretched their winning streak to nine games with a weekend sweep of the Portland Prairie Dogs.

Boasting a pristine 9-0 mark, the Llamas sit atop the six-team Cascade Collegiate League, which gives college players a chance to heft wood bats and play through the summer months.

Lynnwood throttled Portland 14-1 Saturday, then came back around to sweep a Sunday doubleheader by the tune of 9-7 and 4-1.

Lippo painted with all the colors, playing center field, catching, and also coming on to pitch during the series.

The former Wolf, who just wrapped his first season playing baseball at the Univerity of Maine at Presque Isle, scattered three hits in two innings of relief work on the mound.

He whiffed a pair of Prairie Dogs, then picked a runner off of second base to end the game in 109-degree weather.

At the plate, Lippo collected four hits, two RBI, a walk, and a sac fly during the series.

On the season he’s whacking the ball at a .421 clip.
