Marshfield beat host Springfield, 25-13, 25-19, 25-22 on Monday to finish a perfect 5-0 in the first half of the Midwestern League volleyball season.
“That’s a good feeling to be in that spot,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said.
Marshfield is two games in front of Churchill, Thurston and Willamette with five games remaining on the schedule.
The Pirates started strong Monday, and played well enough to win the final two games against the Millers.
“I thought that the first game, we came out and played really well,” Montiel said.
Jessica Hockema had nine kills to lead Marshfield’s offense. Kara Young had seven kills, Nikki Gross had 14 assists and eight digs, and Brittney Young had four aces and five digs.
Brittney Young was playing at libero, her natural position, for the first time since the league season started, having been forced into an outside hitter spot because of injuries.
“She’s back in her home position, which is good for us,” Montiel said. “We’ll enjoy having her back in there.”
