SEQUIM — Sequim may have set or tied the school’s all-time service aces record in a 25-8, 25-15, 25-10 win over Bremerton on Thursday, according to longtime Sequim volleyball coach Jennie Weber Heilman.
“We had 28 aces which might be a team record or tied with a team record, at least with side-out scoring,” she said. “There was a state tournament game against Selah back in 2002 that went five sets and I think we had 27 aces.”
Weber Heilman said the winless Knights didn’t offer much fight.
“I was curious and we only received 23 [Bremerton] serves in three games, they were missing serves and we got some runs with aces,” she said.
“Arianna [Stoval] had a seven-point serving run in the first game and five were aces.” Stovall finished 14 of 18 on serves with 10 aces and a kill.
Sydney Hegtvedt also put together a seven-point run with three aces in the third game. Hegtvedt served 9 for 9 with one perfect pass.
Kendall Hastings had a good match, Weber Heilman said.
“Kendall was 8 of 8 on serve with five aces. She also had five perfect passes and considering we only passed 23 balls, that’s a good amount. Plus eight kills, two stuff blocks and four digs.
Jolene Vaara added two aces and five assists, while Sydney Clark served 10 for 10 with three aces and a pair of assists.
Sequim (4-2, 4-3) visits second-place Kingston (5-1, 5-2) on Tuesday.

FORKS — The Spartans earned a 25-13, 25-21, 25-19 win over the Wildcats on Thursday.
“We were definitely playing our game against Ocosta,” team captain Kyra Neel and Kadie Wood said. “When our big middle [Kaidence Rigby] got injured we knew that we had to step it up even harder and we did, Brynn Daniels did an amazing job stepping up and playing hard.”
Forks coach Jenn Neal said she was proud of her squad for staying positive throughout the match.
“When Kaidence got hurt they all stepped up and worked together,” she said.
