Friday Harbor spikers rally against Evergreen Lutheran

posted 09/12/2006
Friday Harbor's volleyball team rallied for a 3-2 victory over Evergreen Lutheran Saturday, Sept. 9, 2006.

"We found a way to win instead of losing it," said Friday Harbor coach Mager. "They needed a game like that to show themselves they can find a way to win."

The Wolverines won the first game 25-18 but lost the next two 12-25 and 21-25. Evergreen led 20-11 in the fourth game but the Wolverines rattled off 10 consecutive points. The Eagles went up 23-21 before the Wolverines scored the final three points for a 25-23 game victory. Friday Harbor nipped Evergreen 15-13 in the fifth game.

Friday Harbor made up for their lack of height and numbers with smart hitting, accurate serving and more stamina than their opponent.

"Sarah Heeren was just relentless at the net," Mager said.

"She's using her blockers as tools to hit the ball around," Mager said.

Heeren also was consistent in the backcourt. "I think she only missed one serve all day," Mager said.

"Our serving is key," he added.

Maddy Anderson also In the second game, Mager moved Anderson from outside hitter to setter. "She did well in adjusting and getting to the ball," he said.

The Wolverines played with only one player on the bench, so some of their players see action an entire match. "They have to be in good shape to do that," Mager said. "They have to be able to out-hustle (their foes)."
