Claudia Benevides digs the ball in the match against Kittitas
DW COMBINE-The DW volleyball team won their non-conference match against Kittitas on Wednesday, September 7, in Dayton. Both teams struggled with passing the ball to the setter in the match that saw the Wolfpack players come from behind in each set to get their first win.
In the first set, senior Emily Rodrick, an outstanding setter, hitter, and server last season as a junior, served six straight points to take the come-from-behind win 25-17. Rodrick plays libero this season. Kittitas took an early 6-1 lead in the second set. The Wolfpack clawed their way back to the lead with a couple of kills, and an ace serve from senior Claudia Benevides, some Kittitas Coyotes errors, and a kill by junior Peyton Struckmeier to win 25-23. DW again let the Coyotes take an early lead in set three as the Wolfpack committed some passing and communication errors. Two ace serves and two kills by Benevides highlighted the comeback. The game ended with a kill by Kylee Henry who played a solid game for DW in the 25-20 win.
Seniors Benevides and Rodrick stated after the match that they believe that their team worked together as one and fought through the hard parts on the court.
