VOLLEYBALL: Senior night sweep seals second place for Sequim

SEQUIM — Sequim took care of business, locking up second place in the Olympic League with a 25-13, 25-22, 25-19 senior night volleyball sweep of Kingston.

“We beat them in three games, so we were happy to achieve our goal for the match,” coach Jennie Weber Heilman said. “It was nice to come out and play well because weird things can happen on senior night, but we stayed pretty focused all night.”

Senior Angel Wagner sparked the Wolves in the first set.

“She served 8 for 8 with six aces, all in the first game,” Weber Heilman said.

Senior Sammie Bacon saved Sequim in the second set, first getting a crucial dig to fall in while down 22-21.

“She had a crazy dig that hit the top of the tape [on the net] and rolled over and landed on their side. Then she served out the last three points.”

Bacon served 8 of 9 with three aces and three kills.

Senior Kendall Hastings led the team with 13 kills, 10 for 11 serving with an ace, five perfect passes, seven digs and six blocks defensively.

Senior Jordan Kidd added a kill, five digs and three perfect passes and classmate Mia Coudriet totaled 11 digs and four perfect passes.

Freshman Sydney Clark served 12 of 12 with an ace and a kill.

Sequim (11-3, 11-4) will host an Olympic League Tournament game on Thursday.
