MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — It took a little bit longer than they would have preferred, but after dropping the first set 20-25, Mountlake Terrace was able to come back and win the next three sets 25-23, 25-18, 25-18 to win a Wesco South match against Jackson Tuesday at Mountlake Terrace H.S.
Coupled with a loss by Mariner, the win clinched a 4A District 1 playoff berth for the Hawks.
“We played with intensity,” Mountlake Terrace head coach Marietta Snyder said. “We played with so much passion tonight.”
After falling behind in the first set 10-20, the Hawks (4-3 in league, 6-6 overall) came roaring back to make the first set close. On Senior Night the Hawks were led by a couple of juniors. Jenna Donohue had 14 kills and Christine Jenson had 29 assists for Mountlake Terrace.
“I think our girls played as a team tonight,” Snyder said. “If they continue to play like this — and they should — they could have a great finish to their season.”
Meagan Brown, one of two seniors on the Mountlake Terrace squad, and Leah Lechternberg each added seven kills for the Hawks.
Jackson (3-4, 4-8) was led by Leigh-Ann Haataja with 13 kills and three blocks and Haley Sharpe who had 23 assists.
The Hawks knew coming in that a win, coupled with a Mariner loss, would send them to the District 1 playoffs.
“I told them this is it you guys,” Snyder said. “Whether we make it to districts and still stay alive or just throw in the towel — and my girls chose to fight for it and they played really well.
“They played really hard and really deserved to win.”
