Jills top Lady Mules in volleyball opener

The Wahkiakum Mules volleyball team headed to Longview on Tuesday for a match with R.A. Long and lost to the Lumberjills in three sets, 18-25, 23-25, and 16-25.

“It was a good learning night for us as we sort out lineups and potential positions,” Coach Kayli Hurley said. “We played some great defense and had some bright spots on offense. However we couldn’t string enough together in a row nor did we do a good job of stopping the Jills’ point runs.”

Nai’a Freeman had eight kills. Jansi Merz had seven kills and two blocks. Asia Taccori and Teylor Sauer added three kills each. Solana Stanley had 17 digs.
