It was one of those “ugly, but we’ll take it” wins when the Coupeville volleyball team defeated visiting Cedarcrest 3-1 Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The Wolves’ coach Toni Crebbin said, “I liked the first game…after that, well, we did it the hard way.”

Coupeville won 25-16, 19-25, 25-20, 25-17.

Poor passing, poor serving and unforced errors made the Wolves’ journey to their win more difficult then it should have been, according to Crebbin.

The Wolves, however, after a particularly sloppy second game, collected themselves and swept the final two sets to claim the Cascade Conference win over the Red Wolves (0-1).

Coupeville (1-1, 2-1) hits the road to face defending 1A state champion King’s (2-0) Thursday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.
