Below is the Wenatchee match summary from Coach Abby Phelps:

The Chelan Lady Goats put up a great fight against the panthers. The C team lost a great battle with a score of 23-25, 22-25, and 10-15 in the last set. The close, competitive scores were due to a whole team effort.

The JV also lost all three sets, battling with the panthers point for point. Their scores were 18-25, 17-25, and 8-15. Lizzie Harrington played great as a middle blocker, with aggressive swings and great blocks.

The score was 25-23. In the second set the girls found their stride and won 25-14. The third set was another great, competitive match that went back and forth between teams into extra points. After staying within 3 points of each other the entire match, the Lady Goats were able to pull out a win with a score of 31-29.

Previous Game Versus Manson:

The Manson Trojans gave Chelan all they could handle in a match that was played last weekend in Manson. Chelan won by scores of 25-23, 25-23 and 25-16. Said Coach Phelps, “it was a great, competitive match. In the first game, the Goats held their lead for the game, and were able to finish strong at the end winning 25-23. The second game the Goats came back from a 14-19 deficit and won 25-23 again. In the third set, the Goats were able to capitalize on their previous momentum and won 25-16.

A couple things to note about the match:

  1. Jamie Bekel is a serving specialist and came in and served 3 aces for our team. She had a great game.
  2. Olivia Strandberg had 18 kills with an impressive 440 hitting percentage.
For Chelan, a scheduled Thursday home match against Ephrata has been postponed  due to a shortage of officials. The two schools are working on rescheduling the match. The next scheduled action for Chelan will be a home match next Tuesday against Naches Valley.
