Wolfpack spikes Lake City
Lexy Boschee had nine kills and served four aces as the Glacier Wolfpack volleyball team swept visiting Lake City High from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 25-22, 25-13, 25-12 on Saturday.
The Wolfpack survived a tough first set, unloaded in the second and was in a tight third set when Boschee got the serve.
The junior finished that set by serving 11-straight points, including three aces.
Cassidy Hashley added three blocks and Cami Mathison had 17 digs for the Wolfpack (10-4, 4-2).
"I thought we were aggressive, especially from the service line," said Glacier coach Christy Harkins.
"(The Timberwolves) played good defense. They kept sending the ball back over and that frustrated us a little bit," she said of the first set.
"I think we picked up what we were doing offensively the next two sets."
The Wolfpack travels to Missoula Sentinel on Thursday.
