SPORTS: Crescent volleyball team wins own tournament; captures league again

JOYCE — The Crescent Loggers won their own Crescent Invitational volleyball tournament, beating rival Neah Bay 2-0 in the championship match.

The Loggers won the seven-team tourney to go along with their third North Olympic League title in a row they captured recently.

Crescent, 4-0 in league and 10-2 overall, has dominated league volleyball for years, winning eight of the last 10 conference championships.

The Loggers also captured eight of the 10 games they played at Saturday’s tournament, defeating the Red Devils 25-14, 25-16 in the championship match.

“We played strong in the tournament, not the best ball we have played, but strong enough to win the day,” Crescent coach Alex Baker said.

“We were dominant in the championship match.”

Jandi Frantz led the Loggers with strong serving and net play as she went a perfect 16 of 16 in serves with two aces, and she also had 13 blocks and 11 kills for the tourney.

Becca Bowen also had a powerful serving performance by making 23 of 23 serves with five aces, and she also contributed six kills.

Sophomore Shannon Williams had outstanding play with 12 blocks and 12 kills at the net, and she made 29 of 31 serves with four aces.

Williams also had four tips for points during front-row play.

Sophomore Lauren Hartley came off the bench to make 10 of 11 serves with three aces, and she also had two blocks and a kill in the front row for the Loggers.

The Loggers have two regular-season matches left.

They play at Neah Bay tonight, and then host Clallam Bay for Senior Night on Thursday.
