For the fourth consecutive season, the Northwest Christian volleyball team earned the title of the Sea-Tac League regular season champion.
The Wolverines sailed past Evergreen Lutheran 25-13, 25-14, 25-14, in Tacoma on Monday, Oct. 19. In doing so, they clinched the top seed in the Sea-Tac League Tournament, which begins Thursday, Oct. 22.
Addy Hentges, the reigning Thurston Chronicle Athlete of the Week, continued her stellar play with 12 kills against Evergreen Lutheran, while Rileigh Frost tacked on a team-high seven aces and nine digs. Jess Collins posted 24 assists and four aces. The Wolverines piled up 18 aces as a team.
“They are always a fun team for us to play because they are so scrappy and have some tough servers,” Northwest Christian co-head coach Sarah Barnard said of Evergreen Lutheran. “Everything just really clicked for us tonight. We worked together as a team, and it’s the best we’ve played all season.”
Northwest Christian (14-4, 9-0 Sea-Tac League) will face the winner of Thursday’s first round matchup between Concordia Christian Academy and Pope John Paul II in the quarterfinals on Thursday at home. A win in the quarterfinals would clinch a district tournament bid.
