Sweet Home volleyball makes playoffs

Sweet Home volleyball went pink to support breast cancer awareness during their senior night match against Philomath on Tuesday, October 17. The team took the first set, before falling to the Warriors 3-1. Head coach Mary Hutchins called the last two sets “battles.”

“We held the lead late in the third set but unfortunately a string of serve receive and hitting errors cost that set,” she said. “We basically came out and competed hard for 3 sets and let our nerves take us out of set four.”

Redemption came knocking as the Huskies beat North Marion by winning the first 3 sets in their October 19 match, and earning their place in the playoffs. Coach Hutchins called the game a “must win situation.”

“The girls were very focused and did not let anything deter them,” Hutchins said. “Serving was spot on, communication and hitting. We played together strong as a team and finished our league play with a win.”

The girls will have faced down Estacada in the first playoff game Tuesday, October 24, while the paper is off to print.
