LIBBY — Columbia Falls (9-1 overall, 5-0 Northwestern A) rallied from a first set loss to top Libby (6-3, 2-3) in four sets, leaning on its powerful front line to sway the momentum of the match 18-25, 25-23, 25-14, 25-17.

The Wildkats had 14 blocks, led by eight from Winter Kemppainen, to stifle Libby’s offense, which had been rolling in the first set.

“They have a great offense, too,” Libby coach Cindy Ostrem-Johnston said. “They have hitters coming at you all over the place in the front row. But, the blocking shut our offense down.

“I thought we played them really tough the first two games then let them get away from us in the second two.”
