Burlington-Edison’s Katlyn Mataya lays out for a ball during Tuesday’s Northwest Conference match at Sedro-Woolley.

SEDRO-WOOLLEY —The Burlington-Edison volleyball team had to wait five days, but it finally got to erase the memory of a tough loss to Lynden.

The Tigers bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 25-19, 25-16, 25-13 victory over Sedro-Woolley on Tuesday night.

“I think for a few days we’d felt sorry for ourselves,” Tigers coach Tawnya Brewer said. “We needed to pull ourselves out of that, and I thought we did a good job of that.”

The Cubs (0-8 conference) made the Tigers (7-1) earn most of their points. Sedro-Woolley didn’t hit a ball out during a rally until the second game and dug up a lot of shots throughout.

The Tigers seemed OK with the Cubs keeping a lot of balls in play, feeding middle hitter Kinsey Davis and outside hitter Rachel Tingley repeatedly. Davis led the way with 19 kills and a pair of blocks, while Tingley added 12 kills.

“It told the girls that Burlington is deceptively good,” Cubs coach Doug Pass said. “Lynden pounds you. They (the Tigers) beat you with speed.”

Davis and Tingley combined for 31 of the team’s 33 kills.

“We have to go with our strength,” Brewer said. “It is concerning, though, because teams will double up on your best hitter. We talk about that. Our whole goal is to make our offense quicker.”

Katlyn Mataya finished with 31 assists.

Even strong Cub passing struggled against stronger Tiger serving. Burlington-Edison finished with 15 aces, including four by Davis and three each in part-time duty from freshmen Lucy Capron and Jordan Lautenbach.

“We’re a good passing team, but they served us really well,” Pass said.

Ashley Joneli’s bruising six aces led the way for the Cubs. Sara Ringhouse and Kara Birdsell each finished with four kills for the Cubs, though Birdsell left late in the match with an ankle injury.

Sedro-Woolley rallied from nine down to get as close as four in the opening game, and stayed close a good portion of the second game. Burlington-Edison ran away with the third game early.

“They made us work for it,” Brewer said. “I was impressed. Sedro-Woolley dug up a lot of balls.”
