TACOMA — The Sequim volleyball team came within three points of a trip to the state tournament.
The Wolves, who went to state in 2010 as the fifth seed from the West Central District after beating Olympic 3-2, had the tables turned on them in the 2011 district tournament.
Olympic defeated Sequim 3-2 on Saturday night at Franklin Pierce High School in the consolation final for the district’s fifth and final seed to state.
It was barn-burner of a match with the Trojans and Wolves coming out with an even 108 points each in the five games. The final score was 21-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-23, 15-12.
Both teams had to win three loser-out matches Saturday to earn that final state seed.
In the other two loser-out matches Saturday, Sequim beat host Franklin Pierce 25-11, 25-22, 24-26, 25-12 and defeated Fife 26-24, 25-11, 25-23.
