SEHOME 3, PULLMAN 2
Early on, it had looked like the Mariner magic had ran out as the third-ranked Greyhounds had sprinted out to a 2-0 lead after wins of 25-16 and 25-23, but Sehome came out fired up in the third set and took it 25-11.
The Mariners then withstood a strong Pullman comeback at the end of the fourth set, but were still able to get that final point to win 25-21. The fifth and final set was back and forth up until the final few points when the Greyhounds went up 14-13, needing just one final point to send Sehome to the consolation bracket, but the Mariners reached down deep, played for each other, and when Paige Flory administered her 27th kills of the match, it was the final point needed in a 17-15 win that secured the reverse sweep to send the Mariners back to the semifinals for the second year in a row.
Flory also added 27 digs to her 27 kills, and fellow senior Jackie Hurley led Sehome with 28 digs, as well as four aces.
Katherine Staton also finished with four aces, and Hadley Crovo had 12 digs. Maren Stiles sent 12 kills over the net, and Brooklyn Flamer had eight.
Taylor Turrell dished out 41 assists, and Sophia Gage had another huge performance at the net with four blocks.
Sehome will take on Ellensburg this morning at 10:45 for a chance to play for the 2A state championship.
