FIELD TWP— The Grizzlies may have faced Littlefork-Big Falls in the opening round of the Section 7A volleyball playoffs on Monday, but it was a potential rematch with the Cherry Tigers that helped focus their efforts as they swept the Vikings in straight sets, 25-18, 25-17, and 25-6.
“They really wanted to face Cherry again and they knew they had to win to make that happen,” said North Woods Head Coach Kandi Olson. The Grizzlies lost to the Tigers, in Cherry, in a hard-fought contest last month, and have been pining for a rematch ever since. “The girls feel like they’ve grown as players and as a team since they last played Cherry and they are interested in seeing how we matchup with them now,” said Olson.
They were set to have their chance on Wednesday evening after the Timberjay’s weekly deadline. Watch for a report on that game online at timberjay.com.
In Monday’s action, Grizzlies senior Coley Olson dominated at the net, tallying 17 kills and six digs, along with two ace serves. Fellow senior Karlyn Pierce added eight kills and two aces, while classmate Kayla Tschida posted six kills and five ace serves.
Sophomore setter Morgan Burnett added 34 assists and seven ace serves, while freshman Hannah Kinsey added seven kills.
