NEAH BAY — After its season was delayed until the end of September due to COVID-19 protocols, the Neah Bay volleyball team has been lights out in October, going a perfect 8-0 on the season so far.

Neah Bay is the No. 1-ranked volleyball team among 1B schools, according to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association RPI rankings.

Ray had four kills, five aces and two blocks, while Cumming added four blocks. Outside hitters Oceana Aguirre and Amber Swan each added five kills for the win. Setter Ryana Moss tallied 16 assists.
