The Vikings beat Concrete 3-1 on Oct. 11 and then played in an all-day tournament on Oct. 13 that matched the Vikings against Bear Creek Academy, the number two team in the state. Despite losing, Orcas played tough. The team later beat league rivals the Shoreline Christian Crusaders for the first time this year. Orcas finished the tournament tied for second.

On Oct. 16, the Vikings easily beat Cedar Park Christian. On Oct. 18, Senior Night, the girls played against the high-ranking LaConner Braves. Losing the first match 25-14, the Vikings rebounded in spectacular fashion the second, winning 25-23. The Vikings remained strong in the third game up 5-0, but LaConner tied the game at 12 with the duel lasting until a 23-23 tie. The Braves then got the last two points. The Vikings lost the fourth game 25-8, but were ecstatic about winning a game against La Conner for the first time in at least seven years.

“In over 20 years of coaching volleyball this was the best senior night I have ever seen,” said coach Gregg Sasan.

On Oct. 26, the girls play in the league playoff tournament.
