Pe Ell coach Hollie Briggs said though her team didn’t come away with a win, they played the Vikings better than they did last season.
“They’re just a good team and they hit hard,” Briggs said. “Even when we blocked their shots, the ball shanked out of bounds. The girls didn’t give up and they held their heads up.”
