SPORTS: Sequim beats Port Townsend 3-0 in volleyball; other prep reports

SEQUIM — Sequim’s volleyball team barely warmed up against a youthful Port Townsend squad Tuesday night.

The Wolves (2-0) won the early season nonleague match 25-10, 25-6, 25-13.

“They have a lot of young kids on varsity,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber-Heilman said about the Redskins.

Right now Sequim is just trying to get court time to get the kinks out.

The Wolves did not play in a summer league and won’t hit the tournament circuit until late September and October.

Haleigh Harrison led the Wolves with 15 kills, six digs and three blocks while setter Taylor Balkan passed for 39 assists, had three digs and was nine for nine in serving with three aces.

Rylleigh Zbaraschuk earned four kills and had five digs while Hannah Hudson had nine digs and was 21 of 23 in serves with three aces.

Hudson had 13 serves in a row in the first game.

“Hannah was a serving machine,” Webber-Heilman said.

Natalie Stevenson also had a good serving game as she served 10 in a row in the second game and had three aces on the night.

Sequim next travels to archrival Port Angeles for a showdown Thursday in nonleague action.

Port Townsend 3, Sequim 2

SEQUIM — The Redskins got a golden goal from their money player to beat the Wolves in dramatic fashion Tuesday night.

Irina Lyons, the reigning Olympic League co-MVP, headed in an Audrey McHugh free kick from 30 yards out in the 85th minute to complete a Redskin rally in the sudden death overtime thriller.

“We showed a lot of heart tonight,” Port Townsend coach Ryan Moss said. “I saw everything we have been working on finally come together in the closing minutes of the second half and carry on into overtime.”

McHugh had scored the Redskins’ first goal early on in the 17th minute before Sequim roared back with two goals in the final 20 minutes of the first half for a 2-1 edge.

It wasn’t until the 73rd minute that Jewel Johnson scored the equalizer for Port Townsend, sending the game into overtime and setting up Lyons’ golden goal.

“The game was fast and physical and a lot of my young players really stepped up tonight,” Moss said.

“The game really could have gone either way with the amount of opportunities both teams had, but in the end it was PT coming away with the W.”

Added Moss, “It’s a great win for us.”

Port Townsend (2-1 overall) next hosts Kingston on Thursday.
