The Timberline volleyball team rode an impressive defensive effort to a sweep (25-14, 25-14, 25-17) of Capital on Thursday, Oct. 22.
“Best defensive game of the season,” Timberline head coach Matt Monnastes said. “We didn’t let the ball drop. Overall, the performance was impressive, and our blocking really slowed down their offense.”
Kinley Smith posted a double-double with 21 kills and 15 digs, and Leia Dela Cruz also had a double-double of 30 assists and 15 digs to go along with four kills. Miya Jackson recorded eight kills and 13 digs, and Jovie Lind was the fourth of four Blazers to tally double-digit digs with 14.
Timberline (12-0, 7-0 Puget Sound League) has a big test on Tuesday, Oct. 27 against reigning 3A state champion North Thurston (11-3, 7-1 PSL). The Blazers defeated the Rams in four sets back on Oct. 6 in a non-league match.
Capital (6-7, 3-4 PSL) will visit Lakes (10-2, 6-1 PSL) on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
