LADY WARRIORS MAKE QUICK WORK OF CATLIN

The Warrenton volleyball team only needed about an hour to win their fourth Lewis & Clark League game.

Warrenton defeated Catlin Gabel 25-14, 25-16, 25-9 Thursday night, setting up a battle of Lewis & Clark League unbeatens when the Warriors travel to Oregon Episcopal School next Tuesday.

The Warriors hit, passed and served for a high percentage.

"That's what our goal has been," said Warriors head coach Jim Hackwith, "to play mistake-free as possible on the floor."

Ashely Poole led the Warriors in kills with nine, while putting 19 of 21 hits in play. Poole also passed 92% for teh match, while Roberta Kelly was 12-for-13 passing and a perfect 13-for-13 serving. Jordane Marxer was 20-for-20 on serve with four aces and Lauren Dove had another near-perfect hitting night with four kills. The Warriors' junior middle blocker has just one hitting error in the last two games combined.

As a team, the Warriors were 68-for-77 hitting, 62-for-65 at the service line and passed 82%, numbers that would make any coach happy.

"These girls have surprised me and really come on and played some good volleyball," said Hackwith. "And they've worked hard in practices so they're definitely getting the benefits of that.

"O.E.S. is coming up on Tuesday for us and we know that they've been really tough. It's going to be a fun game, I think. I'm looking forward to that game. Every time we've played a tough team, they've come on and played tough against them."

The Warriors improved to 7-1 overall with the win.
