I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | August 30, 2023 1:00 AM
Lewiston 3, Sandpoint 1
LEWISTON — The Sandpoint women's volleyball team was not quite able to get into a rhythm during Tuesday night’s 3-1 loss to Lewiston.
After dropping the first two sets, 21-25, 12-25, the Bulldogs came back with a strong third set, winning 26-24. However, the team's rally would fall just short, suffering a 17-25 defeat in the fourth as the Bengals secured the victory.
“We have to give credit to Lewiston tonight as they played a strong, clean game and maintained it the entire match,” head coach Piper Wahlin said. “We struggled to get our hitters going. We’re looking forward to our next match against this team.”
Seniors Vivian Platte and Aubree Lane led the Bulldogs on the offensive end with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Haley Swaim was phenomenal behind the line compiling six aces; she also added 30 assists on the night.
Sandpoint (4-3) will have another tough matchup on their hands Thursday night at home against Coeur d’Alene.
