"I thought we passed the ball extremely well," Shelton coach Brett Bartlett said. "Their keeper did a phenomenal job - she was flying all over the place. We were putting shots all over and she was gobbling them up - it was quite amazing."

The Highclimbers outshot the Warriors 30-2 in the victory.

Lakes 1, Timberline 0

The Blazers mounted a terrific defensive effort, but were unrewarded at the end when the Lancers knocked home a goal in the 75th minute for a WCC victory.

It was the Blazers' second straight one-goal loss.

"We played really well, they just got the luckier bounce," Timberline coach Jeff Peltier said. "It could have gone either way. We just need to stop just playing really well and start winning some games."

Peltier credited senior defenders Danna Warman and Veronica Hernandez with keeping a lid on things in the backfield.

"They played outstanding defense - they really shut down the big threats that Lakes had."

River Ridge 3, Chehalis 0

Sophie Russell and Courtney Blume paced the Hawks' offense with five kills apiece as River Ridge improved to 5-3 in the Evergreen Conference with a sweep of Chehalis by game scores 25-17, 25-13, 26-24. Setter Halee Hernandez had 11 assists but was lethal from the service line with five aces.

"It was a good win," Hawks coach Robert Higashi said. "The girls played as a team - they had fun. We took some strides today."

OLYMPIA 3, SOUTH KITSAP 0

Liz Armstrong had 12 kills and Brigit Miller had 26 assists, helping Olympia to improve to 8-2 overall and 4-2 in the Narrows League.

"We came back after a couple of tough losses," Olympia coach Laurie Creighton said. "It took us a little bit to get started in game one. We came back with some tough serving. It was a great team effort."

MARY M. KNIGHT 3, TAHOLA 1

Ali Scott had eight kills, and Cassy Willey had 23 assists and six service aces as Mary M. Knight improved to 6-1 for the season.

"Cassy Willey is an all-around player," Mary M. Knight coach Kitty Brehmeyer said. "She's all over the court. But it takes six to make it work."
