VB - Special Coupeville Edition - 2011-09-29 vs Lakewood

If you weren't in the Coupeville gym Thursday night, you missed some exciting volleyball.

In JV action, the Wolves found themselves down early and fought back to make it a game before falling 19-25 in game 1. Game 2 was even closer, with the girls right in it the whole game, but again Lakewood was able to pull out a win, 25-22. In game 3 it was again back and forth but this time the Wolves came out on top 25-21.

The varsity team had a rough start in game 1 and couldn't overcome the deficit and fell 21-25. They played well in game 2 and won 25-21 and also won game 3 25-22 to take a 2-1 match lead.

Things fell apart in game 4 as the Cougars won 25-14 to tie the match.

That's when it REALLY got exciting. In the first-to-15-but-win-by-two final game, neither team seemed to have the game in hand until Coupeville went on a 5-0 run late to hold match point, 14-10. However, two Wolf hitting errors and a pair of Cougar service aces tied it up at 14. From there, neither team could get the decisive 2-point lead to win until Lakewood finally took the game 19-17 and won the match 3-2.
