The Lady Raiders played a lot of volleyball this past week, competing against Waterville, Oroville and Liberty Bell, defeating all three.

At home against Waterville Oct. 10, LR closed out the game in three sets.

Contributing to the win were: Mikaylah Thompson, who delivered eight aces, serving 92 percent; Megan Abel, who had 15 assists for the evening; Sean Garvin, who added 12 kills and 12 digs; and Addison Hansen, Chasity Williams, Emily Abel, and Rylee Pitner, who each served 100 percent for the night.

Two days later in Oroville, LR lost the first set, but won the next three.

"We started off slow and couldn't find a tempo that fit," said Lake Roosevelt's Head Coach, Kasey Garvin.

Garvin said that Lady Hornet Hanna Hildebrand, as well as their setters, gave LR a challenge, but the Lady Raiders did find their rhythm and walked away with victory.

At home against Liberty Bell on Saturday, the Lady Raiders won in just three sets.


Team leaders for the game were: Addison Hansen with seven aces, six kills, and 10 digs; Sean Garvin with eight kills, 12 assists, 10 digs and 100-percent serving; and Emily Abel, who was 15/15 at the service line.

"Chasity Williams helped chip away in the second set, where we were down 13-4, to get us back in the groove for the win," Garvin said. "We did a great job distributing sets to different hitters. It keeps the defense from getting a good read on the ball."

The Lady Raiders next game is on Thurs, Oct. 19, in Tonasket against the Lady Tigers. Their next home game is on Saturday, Oct. 21 against the Brewster Lady Bears, with the junior varsity team set to start at 1 p.m.
