Whitefish spikers top Libby

Whitefish volleyball continued their strong season last week, defeating the visiting Libby Loggers 3-1 in Northwest A conference action to improve to 11-8-2 overall and 6-4 in league.  

The Whitefish offense was spread throughout the lineup, which finished with 37 kills on a .341 hitting percentage. Freshman Abby Brooks and junior Annabelle Barrile led the attack with 10 kills each. Sophomore Avery Orme added nine kills and senior Edolie Petersen chipped in three.  

Junior setter Allie Shors directed the offense with 29 assists. Shors also contributed seven digs and three service aces. 

From the service line, Whitefish recorded 11 aces while serving at 95% efficiency. Sophomore Hannah Szady led the way with five aces and scored a team-high 29 service points. 

Defensively, the Bulldogs totaled 38 digs, with Szady, Shors and Emy Hansen collecting seven digs each. Orme also had two solo blocks. 

The Lady Dawgs looked to carry that momentum into Tuesday evening’s home matchup against Bigfork. Whitefish will be at home again next week on Tuesday, facing Polson.
