The Skyline volleyball team improved to 6-4 in KingCo 4A competition Oct. 21 after beating Garfield 3-1 at the Skyline gym. The Bulldogs took one set from the Lady Spartans 25-23.
Skyline trailed early in each of the first three sets, but finished the first and third sets strong to win 25-22 and 25-18. It won the fourth set 25-19.
“It was a good game. Little slow at the beginning,” Olivia Marquardt said after the game. “Serving was a big deal by Paige (Haas). She kept us going. Then, after that we just know we’re playing for Mark. (See related story page 22) As we come together as a team, we know we need to fight harder at the end.”
Marquardt finished with 15 kills and Haas had eight kills, four blocks and eight aces. Megan Clark had 39 assists and sophomore outside hitter Maddie Magee had 12 kills. Amy Ziegler finished with five blocks and her sister, Haley, had three blocks. Madison Stoa had three aces.
“They (Garfield) were a very scrappy team and they dug the ball well. And they picked up things that we expected to hit the floor,” head coach Laura Gacayan said. “They just kept the ball alive, which I think, kept us on our toes.”
