Sequim team takes B Division volleyball title

Wings Up of Sequim fought off a serious challenge by Elwha Food and Fuel to capture the Peninsula Volleyball League’s B Division championship on Jan. 31 at the Peninsula College gym.

The Elwha club had to beat Wings Up twice to win the double-elimination post-season tournament and they opened the night winning the first match in straight sets, 25-21, 25-23.

That forced a second and final best-of-three match, and this time the regular season champions held off Elwha Food & Fuel, winning 25-17, 25-23 to claim the title.

The team was made up of Brittney Gale, Tayler Breckenridge, Dena Breckenridge, Jared Fodge, Ben Cowan and Cody Cowan.

The PVL A Division continues with two more weeks of regular season play, followed by playoffs on Feb. 16. The championship was moved back to Feb. 23.
