Davenport freshman Chloe Hammond secures a dig against Asotin Thursday, Oct. 6. The Gorillas came back to beat the Panthers in four sets.
DAVENPORT—For a set, it appeared the volleyball squad might suffer a disappointing loss to the visiting Asotin Panthers. But a dominant second set propelled the Gorillas to win three straight games en route to a 3-1 victory Thursday, Oct. 6.
The Panthers pulled away in the first set after a competitive first 20 combined points to win 25-14. Davenport completely flipped the script in the second set, however, thoroughly dominating in a 25-7 victory.
The third set was the match’s most competitive. Back and forth went both teams into a 25-25 tie, but Selah Hupp’s kill gave Davenport the 27-25 win.
Asotin couldn’t recover and surrendered the fourth set to a confident Gorillas bunch 25-16.
Hupp had 15 digs for Davenport, while her younger sister, Tatum Hupp, had four aces. Chloe Hammond had eight kills, while Emalie Jacoby had 19 assists to pace the Gorillas.
The win improved Davenport to 3-3 in the NE2B and 4-3 overall. The next home match is Thursday, Oct. 13 against the St. George’s Dragons.
