“This is the one we have been waiting for.”
So were the words of coach Toni Crebbin after her Coupeville High School volleyball team clobbered visiting Cedarcrest 3-0 Thursday, Oct. 6.
The Wolves cruised to the win 25-9, 25-18, 25-18.
Crebbin said earlier this season that she expected her team to be more competitive the second time through the Cascade Conference schedule, and the win over the Red Wolves drove home that point. Cedarcrest (3-6) defeated Coupeville 3-1 Sept. 13.
Crebbin said, “I got my team back tonight…This is the one we needed. We came out strong and were solid all night.”
The Wolves spread the offense around with five players getting three or more kills, led by Makenna Martyn with five; she added three aces.
Crebbin said Katie Smith “was on tonight; she showed good ball control” on the way to four kills.
Bessie Walstad had four kills and nine digs, and Taya Boonstra had 15 assists.
The Wolves were also on target with serves with Boonstra hitting in 20 of 21 and Ali Trumbull 18 of 19.
Coupeville (3-6, 4-6) plays at first-place King’s (8-0) Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m.
