But in the final game of the season that would determine which team would go onto district level competition, the Orcas Lady Vikings fell to Shoreline Christian in a four game match. The scores were 25/19 Orcas; 10/25 Shoreline; 15/25 Shoreline, and 24/26 Shoreline. “We came out mentally timid,” said Sasan. “Our team never gave up, but there were too many unfocused moments. The challenge will be to continue working on not letting our desire to win ebb while we’re out on the court, no matter what the circumstances.”
