STANWOOD – The Stanwood volleyball team took another step toward its goal – making the district playoffs – Tuesday night.
The Spartans defeated Lake Stevens 25-10, 25-15, 25-11 in their Wesco North home opener at Stanwood High School.
Stanwood (2-0 in division, 7-1 overall) was paced to victory by juniors Megan Amundson, who recorded 11 of her team’s 35 kills, and Whitney Appleby, who finished with 29 assists.
“We had a pretty good night,” Stanwood coach Erik Titus said. “I think we had one hitting error all night.”
Last season, the Spartans finished one game out of district play with a team comprised mostly of sophomores. One year later, those players are now juniors who are coming into their own, which is reflected in Stanwood’s record.
“It’s a huge part of (being 7-1 overall),” Titus commented. “They’ve had a lot of game experience. Our goal is to get to district play.”
Rightside hitter Sarah Schemenauer, one of just two seniors on the team, served four of the Spartans’ 16 aces.
With the loss, the Vikings fell to 1-1, 4-4.
