Lady T-cats earn Homecoming win

In the sole match of the week, the Lady Tigercats hosted Garfield-Palouse on Oct. 5 for the LaCrosse-Washtucna/Kahlotus Homecoming contest.

The LWK team earned their second league win with a four-set win over the Lady Vikings: 25-20, 13-25, 26- 24, 25-9.

The Lady Tigercats had a strong start during the match, but a lack of communication in the second set led to GP taking the game and leaving the two teams locked at one each.

In the third set, the LWK team began to regain their composure and sneak past GP for the win, before dominating the fourth set.

Head Coach Sandy Martin said overall, the LWK athletes remained positive and upbeat throughout the match. She stated she is proud of their comeback in the third set and not letting the second set loss effect their performance.

The Lady Tigercats benefitting from a strong serving performance, serving 93 percent as a team with 10 collective aces.

Martin said the team needs to improve on passing, but there are new girls in positions and it will take time for them to adjust to their roles.

Jazzmyn Gordon led the Lady Tigercats in the Thursday match with 21 kills, two blocks, 20 digs and consistent passing. Alynn Harder continued to work hard to set up her teammates as setter, and ended the night with nine assists.

Autumn Meyers served 18-18 from the line, and had two aces. Kristen Miller led the team in aces with three.
