They never saw her coming.

Wearing #7 instead of her usual #2 because of a uniform issue, Coupeville grad Lyla Stuurmans made her presence felt Wednesday, piling up some impressive stats to spark the Skagit Valley College volleyball squad to another win.

Powered by their incognito sniper from Cow Town, the Cardinals rallied to KO host Walla Walla 21-25, 25-21, 25-22, 25-21, running their win streak to four matches and counting.

SVC, now 5-2 on the season, goes for a three-match sweep on the East side of the state Thursday, facing off with Yakima Valley.

Regardless of which uniform she wore, Stuurmans was dominant against Walla Walla, ripping off 11 kills and scraping the floor for 19 digs.

She also picked up both a solo block and a block assist on her way to recording 12.5 points on the day.

Having played in all seven matches, Stuurmans sits with 44 kills, two assists, 11 service aces, 72 digs, five solo blocks, seven block assists, and 63.5 points.

Landon Roberts is back in black.

Give them their moment, and they’ll deliver.

Coupeville grads Landon Roberts and Madison McMillan are part of deep diamond rosters at Walla Walla College and Edmonds College, respectively, so neither former Wolf is playing full-time as a freshman.

But they’re drawing notice when they get the call.

Roberts is part of a pitching staff which has used 14 hurlers this season, but he’s appeared in four games, which puts him in the thick of things for a squad where no mound man has more than nine games to their credit.

His best performance came recently against Wenatchee Valley, where he came on in relief and picked up his first collegiate strikeouts, whiffing two of the four hitters he faced.

McMillan, meanwhile, is part of an Edmonds squad which is streaking at 27-2 after sweeping a doubleheader against Shoreline Sunday.

The power-hitting third baseman picked up four hits, three runs, and a walk as the Tritons came out on top 26-2 and 20-0 in games mercy-ruled after five innings.

On the season McMillan has racked up a .394 batting average across 19 games, with 12 runs, 13 hits, three doubles, three home runs, 18 RBI, and seven walks.

Unofficially, she should be sitting with five taters but has twice had umps wave off moonballs due to team base-running technicalities.
