The Rainier volleyball team picked up a victory on its Senior Night on Monday night, as the Mountaineers swept Adna 25-8, 25-17, 25-11.
“They played great as a team and we finished our season strong,” Rainier coach Carrie Ooms said. “The team brought amazing energy from the beginning and all the way to the end.”
In the final home game of her high school career, Allyson Ooms led the way with 21 kills, 15 digs, a block, and an ace. Next year, Allyson Ooms will be playing beach volleyball at California State University, Bakersfield.
“It was bittersweet to coach Allyson’s last home high school game,” Carrie Ooms said. “But I’m excited for what the future holds for her.”
Lexi Beckman added 16 digs, five kills, and an ace, Reagan Bloom tallied four kills, three blocks, and three aces, and Courtney Eckroth finished the night with 39 assists, 11 digs, and three kills.
Ella Nicholson led Adna defensively with 12 digs while also collecting a pair of kills, and Kamryn Freeman finished with three kills, two aces, and two digs.
Taylor Johnson recorded five digs, three assists, and three aces, Makayla Maynard logged seven assists and two digs, and Carmen Chapman posted five kills, three stuffs, two blocks, and a dig.
Adna coach Wendie Dotson said that her group settled in after struggling with unforced errors in the first set, and she also gave credit to Allyson Ooms and Rainier’s block, saying it made things difficult for Adna’s hitters.
Both the Pirates (7-10) and Mountaineers (14-3) will now turn their attention to the district tournament, which will begin on Saturday. The exact times and locations will be announced later this week when the qualified teams are seeded from one to 11.
