EDMONDS — In the final tune-up before conference play starts, Edmonds-Woodway defeated Everett in three sets, 25-22, 25-18, 25-14, Wednesday at Edmonds-Woodway High School.

“It was a good way to close out the preseason,” E-W head coach Mike Pittis said. “Both teams did a pretty good job of competing.”

The first set went back and forth, with both teams scoring points in spurts. The Warriors (3-2 overall) were able to battle back thanks to what Pittis said was excellent play from its middle blockers.

“I was really impressed with our middles,” Pittis said, referring to Hannah Lauber, Katy Olson and sophomore Syd Donaldson. “All of them really stepped up tonight.”

Cailin Fellows had the charge for E-W with 14 kills and 11 digs, Louber had eight kills, two blocks and two aces, Haley Scott had six kills and two blocks and Leigh Fishback added 38 assists and seven digs.

Everett (4-2) was led by seniors Ally Lund (five kills and nine digs), Kelli Wilner (seven blocks 11 digs) and Mollie Postma (16 assists).

Now the Warriors are looking forward to the challenges and rigors of Wesco South play.

“We had a pretty strong preseason,” Pittis said, “so that should give us a pretty good idea of where we are … we have to keep getting better.

“We’re just excited and seeing some really good volleyball out of the western conference…everybody’s excited to get going with the regular season.”
