Sandpoint 3, Lake City 1

COEUR d'ALENE — Disciplined.

That's the word Sandpoint High head coach Piper Wahlin used to describe her defense, which tallied 15 total blocks as the Lady Bulldogs defeated the Lady Timberwolves in four sets (25-22, 25-16, 19-25, 27-25) for 6A/5A Inland Empire League victory Tuesday night at Lake City High.

Senior Gretta Beck collected a season-high 24 digs and junior Tacey Tajan put up a career-high four blocks to lead the way.

"Our defense was anchored by Gretta Beck and Belen Gonzales, who both made incredible plays," coach Wahlin said. "Gretta showed up the way I always knew she could and played relentlessly through every point."

Senior Hazel Pierce and junior Marlee Lane recorded 10 kills apiece for Sandpoint, which last beat Lake City during their 2023 season opener by the same score.

Wahlin said her setters, freshman Averi Mire and sophomore Breecyn Morton, were instrumental in getting Pierce and Lane the right touches.

"Great decisions by both Averi and Breecyn made a huge difference and allowed our hitters to go up and be much more effective with our attacking," Wahlin said.

Sandpoint (2-5) will look to build on the big win on Thursday, Sept. 18 when they host Lakeland for a 5A Inland Empire League showdown at Les Rogers Court.

Senior Aurora Lane registered a team-high nine kills and seven digs while freshman Vanessa Rogier had five kills, four in the third set.

"We went into tonight with a goal to better the ball and be intense on defense; we have a saying this year, 'nothing surprises us'...," Clark Fork High head coach Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey said. "I think the girls did well with that tonight. Serving spots was very successful for us."
