Thanks to the front row block aided by three from Nicole Valentine, the Tigers picked up a 21-25, 25-20, 26-24, 21-25, 15-6 over C2BL foe Toutle Lake on Tuesday night at home.
Valentine finished with three blocks and by taking away some of the Ducks hitters, Napavine (5-5, 1-1 C2BL) was able to have its back line play specific zones instead of running all over the court. Head coach Monica Dailey called their play “really well.”
“It created a lot more opportunities for us,” Dailey said.
The Tigers responded after dropping the first set to take a 2-1 lead and have plenty of breathing room in the final set. Jessie McCoy paced Napavine with 14 assists, nine kills and three aces while Emily Kang, Stephanie Camacho-Chavez and Lilly Grabianowski all had at least 10 digs.
Napavine will trek to Winlock on Thursday night.
