Tuesdays are for experiments.

Or at least it was this time around, as Coupeville High School JV volleyball coach Ashley Menges tinkered with her lineup during a trip to Orcas Island, and still headed back to the ferry with a straight-sets win.

Blasting their hosts 25-13, 25-23, 25-13, the Wolves improve to 7-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 8-2 overall, with a home rumble Thursday with Darrington next on the schedule.

Menges played mad scientist a bit Tuesday, and it worked out beautifully.

“It was good!,” she said. “Tonight we messed around with some different positions.

“All of the middles got some playing time in the back row, Taylor (Brotemarkle) got to play a little right side, and Issabel (Johnson) even got to play outside tonight!”

The tinkering was done with a purpose in mind.

“It was a good lesson for the girls to realize that sometimes we might need them to fill different roles at times,” Menges said. “So becoming a well-rounded player is important for their growth.”

It made for an exciting, and fulfilling, day for all involved.

“The girls played well,” Menges said. “We had some dips in focus, which we have been focusing on in practice, but overall it was a good day and a fun trek to the island!”

Tuesday stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 9 assists, 8 aces
Mia Farris — 4 kills, 2 digs
Jada Heaton — 1 kill, 4 aces
Issabel Johnson — 2 kills, 2 digs, 1 assist, 6 aces
Katie Marti — 5 kills, 2 assists, 5 aces
Madison McMillan — 1 kill, 1 dig, 1 assist, 3 aces
Grey Peabody — 1 kill, 1 dig, 3 aces
Aby Wood — 1 kill

Katie Marti serves up a winner.

Big effort, medium payoff

It was there, then it was gone.

Missing two of its top three scorers Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls soccer team played visiting Friday Harbor virtually even.

But a late goal, coming off of a deflected shot, was a killer as the Wolves fell 2-1 in a game with major playoff implications.

The loss drops Coupeville to 2-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5 overall, leaving them two games back of Friday Harbor (4-2, 4-6-1), and well behind league leader Mount Vernon Christian (5-0, 9-1-1).

La Conner (0-5, 0-5), which the Wolves host Thursday, is alone in the cellar.

With only two of four NWL teams making it to the postseason, CHS desperately needed to avenge an earlier loss to Friday Harbor, and almost did.

With Audrianna Shaw and Sophie Martin sidelined, Coupeville was missing players who had accounted for seven of the team’s 12 goals this season.

The Wolves still had one rampaging ace controlling the middle of the field, however, as senior Eryn Wood erupted for her third goal of the season, and sixth over the past three seasons.

Taking a ball from freshman teammate Ayden Wyman, the well-seasoned Wood opened a can of whup-ass on Friday Harbor, drilling a shot from 20-30 yards out.

Leaving her foot with a crack which reverberated across Mickey Clark Field, the ball went high and hard and never stopped moving until it cleared the jumping goalie, slamming into the top of the net.

Coming 12 minutes into the second half, Wood’s score knotted the game at 1-1 and brought the CHS boys soccer team to its feet, their cheers raining down on their female counterpart.

Coupeville, which got solid work in goal from the tandem of Lily Leedy and Maylin Steele, held fast, only to see a slick, but somewhat lucky score break the tie.

The ball deflected off at least two people, ricocheting into the side pocket of the net, with the Wolf netminder blocked off from seeing where the shot was ultimately coming from.

That left the Wolves with a frantic 17 minutes left on the clock to force another tie, and they came hard, but literally fell about three inches too short.

CHS defensive whiz kid Nezi Keiper crashed a long kick into a thicket of players, and Wood punched the incoming ball with a deft flick of her foot.

But it wasn’t to be, as the Friday Harbor netminder made a sensational save while flat on the ground, somehow stopping the roll of the ball right as it teetered over the edge of breaking the goal-line.

Nezi Keiper was a beast on defense, as usual.

Coupeville, which gave up the game’s first score in the 17th minute of the first half, stayed in lock-down mode in the waning moments.

Keiper, Carolyn Lhamon, Mary Milnes, and Katelin McCormick bounced folks around, while Noelle Daigneault lowered her shoulder and drilled a wayward Wolverine or two.

But, on a night that was damp, a bit windy, and fairly chilly, there was no miracle at the end to save the Wolves. Just a hard-fought and tough loss.

Coupeville will try and carry forward the same effort as it plays its final two home games of the season.

La Conner comes to Whidbey Thursday, before Sultan visits Saturday for a non-conference tilt on Senior Night.

The Wolves will honor Milnes, Wood, McCormick, Leedy, Shaw, Martin, and Daigneault, before finishing the season with a pair of road contests.

West coast, East coast, she’s dynamite in every venue.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott had another well-balanced performance Tuesday, as she and the Medaille College volleyball team pushed a league heavyweight hard.

Alfred State College eventually escaped with a 25-20, 25-22, 25-17 win in Buffalo, but it wasn’t easy.

The victory lifts the Pioneers to 3-0 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, 12-1 overall, while Medaille falls to 1-3, 4-11.

Prescott was everywhere on the floor Tuesday, piling up four kills, eight digs, two assists, two service aces, a solo block, and seven points.

Mavericks teammates Halle Bogas (eight kills), Baylee Romano (nine digs), and Haley Kennedy (17 assists) also had strong performances.

Alfred State, which has won eight straight, was led by Nayomie Ferrer (30 assists) and Karleigh Haines (15 digs).

Prescott, a freshman at Medaille, has started all 15 matches this season, playing in all 48 sets.

She’s racked up 77 kills, 116 digs, 15 aces, 10 assists, two solo blocks, six block assists, and 97 points.

Medaille returns to action this Saturday, Oct. 16, when it plays at the RIT Invitational.

The Mavericks are slated to face Nazareth College and tourney host Rochester Institute of Technology.

The non-conference rivalries are back.

As well as full schedules.

Looking ahead to the winter season, when the one true sport, basketball, takes hold of Coupeville, those are the first two things of note.

After playing a pared-down schedule due to Covid, the Wolf hoops teams are set to return to a much more normal reality this time around.

Hopefully.

The ongoing pandemic is still affecting things, often forcing scheduling changes and a flexible attitude for coaches, players, administrators, and fans.

But for now things look decent, with Oak Harbor and South Whidbey both back on the schedule, and Coupeville’s teams set to attend a mid-season tourney in Port Townsend.

How things sit, as of today — seven weeks out from the season opener.
