MARYSVILLE — After taking third in the Mt. Vernon Invite this past Saturday, Marysville-Pilchuck coach Shelly Johnson was worried her team might be tired in Monday’s contest against Everett at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. The Tomahawks proved resilient though, defeating Everett 25-12, 15-25, 25-16, 25-16 in the Wesco North match.
“We knew Everett has a good club and we expected it to be a competitive match,” Johnson said.
Senior outside hitter Jenna Welsh led Marysville-Pilchuck (3-0 league, 6-3 overall) in kills with 14 and also had four aces. Mikayla LaRosa had 11 kills and was 16-for-16 serving with five aces. Libero Jadelyn Thompson had 34 digs.
After starting strong, the Tomahawks cooled off a little in the second game and showed some sluggishness.
“It was a matter of us giving up unforced errors,” Johnson said. “(The team) all understand giving up errors leads to unwanted points.”
Ally Lund had six kills for Everett (1-1, 5-3) and Jody Barkanovich had 10 digs. Mollie Postma had 21 assists and three aces.
Snohomish 3, Lake Stevens 0: At Lake Stevens, Larissa Dirks had 10 kills and five aces for Snohomish in its 25-14, 25-14, 25-20 Wesco North victory. Fellow Snohomish (1-1 league, 6-2 overall) player Jaylene Toy had five kills. Lindsey Walter of Lake Stevens (2-1, 4-5) had seven kills.
Stanwood 3, Oak Harbor 1: At Oak Harbor, Kelsey Kanehan had 15 kills for Stanwood in its Wesco North victory.

Jennifer Jansen led Oak Harbor with 17 kills and Jessica Muzzall had 10 kills. Melanie Cone had 33 assists for Oak Harbor (1-2, 3-6).
Arlington 3, Cascade 2: At Cascade, after a strong start some resilience was necessary for the Arlington Eagles to pull out the back-and-forth 25-11, 25-16, 11-25, 24-26, 15-9 Wesco North victory. Danielle Love of Everett (1-1 league, 5-3 overall) had 11 blocks and seven aces and teammate Esther No had 14 digs. The victory moves Arlington to 1-2, 4-5.
