The Lady Wolves came home after winning three of their four volleyball matches in Petersburg over the weekend.

The high school team defeated Craig twice and split their two matches against Metlakatla, losing the first day but then coming back the second night to win in action Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6-7.

The Wolves did not compete against Petersburg over the two days because they already had played four matches against the Vikings — the conference limit allowed for a regular season.

Coach Shelly Powers reflected on the Metlakatla games: “We took one set off of them (Friday) but couldn’t find a rhythm. Our girls came back really strong the next day and made adjustments to win all of their other matches.”

Senior and team captain Sophia Martinsen also was impressed with the comeback the second night. “I think we showed a lot of resilience this weekend. Even though we started with a tough loss, the girls didn’t let that bring them down. We bounced back and played some amazing games.”

Not only did the Lady Wolves beat Craig twice over the two days, but they won each set 3-0. The first night, Craig scored 14, 17 and 16 points, and the second night, 22, 14 and 14, versus Wrangell’s consistent winning score of 25.

“I am so proud of how far our girls have come this season,” Powers said. “Our blocking was on fire all weekend, and our serves and passing saved us on the second day.”

The coach added, “Now we need to fine tune and clean up our offense, as well as work on consistency. We are looking forward to regionals.”

The team is starting to gear up for the Southeast championship tournament, which will be played in Metlakatla Nov.19-21.
