Quilcene sweeps pair

QUILCENE — The Rangers have yet to drop a game on the young season after sweeping Clallam Bay 25-14, 25-13, 25-16 and opening SeaTac League play with a 25-3, 25-11, 25-11 win against Tacoma Baptist.

Quilcene was without two starters in the match against Tacoma Baptist.

“Pearl Munn and McKenzie Kieffer stepped up with strong play,” Rangers coach Joni Crowell said.

“Tonight we had really strong net play, putting down a team total of nine blocks for the night.

“The first game Katie Love put us out to an early lead with really strong serving.

Outside hitters Love and Emily Hitt continue to dominate for the Rangers, and Bailey [Kieffer] is hitting well on the right side.”

Kieffer served 12 of 14 with five aces, and also had five kills and a block.

“Sydney Brown put in a solid serve receive. Allison Jones set strong the entire night and tipped well at the net for three tip kills.”

Against Clallam Bay, Crowell said sophomore McKenzie Kieffer debuted at the net and put down a block in the second set.

Munn, also a sophomore, put in a strong showing on the right side with several key saves while covering.

Crowell also praised Love and Hitt for their work on the outside.

“Clallam had a strong defense and returned a lot of hits, so some really good rallies stretched out the games,” Crowell said.

“Abbygael Weller continued to prove a consistent serve-receive passer, and Brown added in a few more digs also.

“All in all, [I’m] very pleased with the teamwork the Lady Rangers demonstrated.”

Quilcene (3-0) hosts Auburn Adventist on Tuesday.
