Volleyball players turn focus to late-game intensity

Although it lost several senior players last year to graduation, the Mount Edgecumbe volleyball team showed it’s still formidable, beating Haines in varsity and JV matches last weekend at Karl Ward Gym.

“They’re tough. As a boarding school, they get some good players,” said Haines coach Judy Erekson.

The Haines girls were off their game Friday, fumbling key opportunities, she said. “They missed serves at the worst possible times and the hitters’ timing was off.”
