Shorecrest hosts the Cascade Conference’s No. 2 seed South Whidbey in the loser-out crossover meet on Monday and the Royals, the Wesco South No. 2 seed travels to the Cascade Conference’s No. 1 seed Cedarcrest.

“It is a big advantage for us to play at home, but we definitely expect a good match out of South Whidbey,” Morehouse said.

Anna Herold led the Scots with 27 assists and 13 digs and reserve player Karleen Knudsen had eight kills and 11 digs. Knudsen replaced injured player Mary Tseng, who is suffering from a high ankle sprain and is questionable for the game against South Whidbey.

“Karleen really did a good job filling the shoes for Mary tonight,” Morehouse said. “We’re unsure right now if Mary will be ready to come back. She rolled her ankle this past week and has a high ankle sprain. It is hard to tell if she’ll be ready.”
