POLSON

On Thursday, Polson hosted Frenchtown. In the first game, things were exciting, and in extra points, the Pirates prevailed. Haley Fyant put down a kill for the winner in that game. After that, the Pirates took care of business with a little more ease, not letting Frenchtown score more than 16 points in each of the next two games. Fyant had 14 of Polson’s 34 kills. Nichole Lake had four blocks, Lydia Dupuis had seven digs, Erin Sampson had 33 of their 34 assists, and she added four aces.

At Kalispell Glacier, the visiting Lady Pirates were bent upon extracting a measure of payback for their homecoming loss to the Lady Bulldogs earlier in the schedule. The first set was close, but tilted in favor of host Whitefish.  Thereafter, service errors and hits into the net would trip up the Pirates.  The Lady Pirates generated seventy percent less points via service aces and dipped thirty percent in offense at the net than they generated during their previous encounter.

Polson (1-4, 4-6) will compete in the Missoula County Invitational Thursday through Friday.
