MISSOULA — The red-hot Glacier volleyball team went on the road and stormed to its fourth straight victory Wednesday night, downing Missoula Big Sky 25-13, 25-22, 21-25, 25-17.

“It was not our most efficient match,” Wolfpack coach Christy Harkins said.

“We struggled with a couple things, made a lot of service errors and didn’t pass the ball quite as well as normal, but we continued to fight and ended up with a win.”

The win ends the regular season for the Wolfpack (15-10, 5-7 Western AA), who will not know its postseason schedule until after play concludes up elsewhere in Class AA this weekend.

Glacier’s offense led the way in the win with 46 kills. Junior Nikki Krueger had a match-high 13 to lead the Pack. Taylor Salonen had four blocks and Brietta Russell added 28 digs.

Anna Gragg led the Eagles with 12 kills.
