“We started off kind of slow and made some adjustments after that first game, and it really showed in the next two,” Onalaska coach Teri Dalsted said. “And then MWP came back. They’re a really scrappy team, and they never give up. We knew that, so both teams were playing really tough in the last two games.

Also for Onalaska, Colee Masciola made 27 defensive plays and served 16 of 17 with nine aces, and Alicia Vint had 34 defensive passes, a pair of back-row kills, and was perfect on all 16 of her serves with eight aces.

Nicolle Duryea served 24 of 25 with 16 aces, and dished out 48 assists for the winners, while Heather Pannkuk served 23 of 24 with 11 aces and Bailey Cornell came off the bench and connected on all five of her serves.

“It was a really good team effort tonight,” Dalsted said.

For Morton-White Pass, Carly King dished out 32 assists with three kills and served 11 for 11. Sharon Hazen piled up 21 kills and served 12 of 12, and Zoe McCoy was cited by MWP coach Tammy Kelly for her passing and serve-receive.

“We played pretty well in the last couple games, but we couldn’t get it going early,” Kelly said.

Onalaska (6-2, 2-1 league) will play at Napavine on Tuesday. Morton-White Pass (5-3, 2-1 league) will host Toledo on Tuesday.
