POLSON — The Pirate seniors came out strong and unified, accompanied first by their parents and loved ones, then by a striking offense that took down Libby 3-1 on Thursday during Senior Night.

Roses where given to the team's four seniors and manager Natasha Lafferty before the game, which is the final home game for their tenures as Pirates.

The first game brought at sweeping 25-18 Pirate win. The team was leading as much as 20-11, and was anchored by a serving game that Libby's back row couldn't handle.

After the team's switched sides, Libby's power house, senior Jackie Mee, was able to find her footing and drove the Loggers to a 25-12 second game win.

The momentum swichted yet again for the third set. The Pirates were back on the court's south side where they utilized the back row spike courtesy of senior libero Staci Benson, squeaking a 26-24 third set win.

The final set saw a final surge by the Loggers, who led 20-17 at one point. But Polson showed its seniority and chipped away until the set was tied, 24-24.

Junior Marissa McCrea stepped in and served the winning points, complimented by key slams from several Polson spikers.

The Pirates clenched the win with a 28-26 fourth set victory.
