STAGE SET FOR ASTORIA

The Astoria Lady Fishermen moved to within one game of clinching their second Cowapa League title in three years with a 25-9, 25-12, 25-18 victory at Yamhill-Carlton Tuesday night.

Banks and Tillamook also won, keeping pace with Astoria in the three-way race to the finish. The Braves swept Seaside 25-13, 25-16, 25-12 while Tillamook took care of Scappoose 25-23, 25-12, 25-16.

Sophie DeWitt led Astoria's attack with 16 kills and two blocks, while Kristin Saulsbury added a team-high 21 digs to go with five kills. Wendi Agalzoff added nine kills for the Lady Fishermen, who will be trying to sweep the season series against the Braves Thursday night and prevent a 3-way tie for first.

If Astoria wins, the Lady Fishermen would host a second-round state tournament game against Far West League runner-up Douglas on Saturday, Nov. 4. Should the Fishermen lose to Banks tomorrow and Tillamook defeats Yamhill-Carlton, the three teams would play off for seeds at Scappoose High School on Saturday.
