Emalee Alton and Sadie Cheff notched 13 kills apiece as Columbia Falls defeated Libby 25-12, 19-25, 25-12, 25-12 last week at home.

“I thought we played well and clean, minus the second match; we did not respect Libby enough in the second set, made too many errors, and couldn’t pull back ahead,” Columbia Falls Head Coach Jolandie Brooks. “That’s the game of volleyball. With momentum swings, we need to be faster swinging the momentum back in our favor.”

At the net, Rylee Sweeney had six kills and three blocks, while on defense, both Annika Reid and Lexi Anderson had 10 digs.

Kierra Kemppainen had 16 assists, while Jezanie Brooks had 11 assists. Both of them also had two aces.

“I’m excited to coach this group of girls — they can be so fun to watch,” Brooks said.
