This game was a battle of the two top teams in their league battling for that number one spot.
Sets 1-3
Tumwater got off to a dominant start in every set, which carried them through the rest of their time on the court. The front court offense of the T-Birds with Sydney Wilson, Kay Kay Malroy, and Corinne Sadlemyer was on point all night as they collected kills throughout the game. The backline defense as well didn’t allow Aberdeen to catch a rhythm, with Lauren Montoya-Kilmer, Audrey Overbay, and Abbey Kummer leading the charge and making great saves. Noami Ash and Ashley Hill would also come in and have great games as they helped Tumwater dominate their way through each set.
Aberdeen had their moments throughout each game and would go on small runs. Jordyn Mills, Emelia Kohn, and Morgan McCombs were the driving forces of the offense and Sophie Knutson and Mia Hallak were the stars for Aberdeen’s defense. Every set Aberdeen got better and brought the score closer the momentum on Tumwater’s side was too much as everything seemed to go their way. Tumwater would dominate every set and walk away with their sixth straight win and advance to 5-0 in league play. Aberdeen falls to 9-1 and 4-1 in league. The T-Birds will now be the top team in the 2A Evco after this win.
Chehalis Holiday Inn Express MVP of the Game
