LYNDEN CHRISTIAN 3, CHELAN 1
The last time that the Goats lost a match in the 1A state tournament was eight years ago, and it was against the Lyncs. That season, the Lyncs ended up winning the state championship. Could lightning strike twice?
Lynden Christian got off to a fast start, and won the first two sets 25-18 and 25-19. It would be hard to keep Chelan down as it came back to take the fourth set 25-17, but the Lyncs squashed all possible momentum that the Goats had by winning the fourth set 25-16.
Jocelyn Eshuis came up big once again as she finished with 24 kills and 6.5 blocks, and Jess DeJong followed her with 13 kills and 1.5 blocks.
The Lyncs were also forced to play fantastic defense against the strong Chelan attack, and they finished with 70 digs as a team, with Lyla Parriera leading the way with 21.
Ellie Pierce added 17 digs, and Emeri Fritts distributed 21 assists.
The Lyncs will face Lakeside-Nine Mile Falls this morning at 9:00 for a chance to get to the 1A state championship match.
