QUILCENE — The Crescent Loggers earned a hard-fought 3-0 non-league volleyball victory over the Quilcene Rangers, winning by scores of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-21.
Crescent coach Alex Baker came away impressed with both teams.
“That was the best Quilcene time I’ve seen in 10 years,” Baker said.
“We played our best match all year.”
The Loggers were led by seniors Bonnie Hazelett and Jandi Frantz.
Hazelett was 11 for 12 serving, with six aces. She also had five kills and one tip for point.
Frantz had three aces on 15 of 16 serving, to go along with two blocks and two kills.
Also for Crescent, junior setter Devanie Christie served a perfect 19 for 19 with two aces and 16 assists; and Sophomore Shannon Williams was 7 for 7 serving with four aces, four blocks one tip and eight kills.
Baker was particularly satisfied with the Loggers’ 92 percent serving success. They had 18 aces and only six misses.
“Any time you double aces to misses, you did really good,” Baker said.
Quilcene coach Joni Corey is proud of her team’s effort
and progress.
“This was a great experience,” Corey said.
“Crescent has some very strong hitters and servers that will help us get ready for league play.
“Our serve receive and defense skills have improved, we just need to improve our serving.
“Our team is just starting to play together and there were some moments that really showed what our future program will look like.”
That bright future was evident in the play of some of the Rangers’ sophomore Sammy Rae and freshmen Megan Weller, Alex Johnson and Elysha Schryver.
Rae was 9 for 10 serving with three aces, seven kills and two blocks.
Setter and captain Weller was 4 for 4 serving and had five assists.
Libero Johnson was 6 for 6 serving with five digs.
Setter Schryver served 4 aces in a row in the third game keeping Quilcene in the game.
“This was a great building block towards a big game Thursday against Port Townsend,” Baker said.
