Columbia Basin turned in a dominant performance Wednesday night in Pasco, sweeping Wenatchee Valley in straight sets (25–21, 25–21, 25–20) to move to 10–11 overall and 4–5 in NWAC East play. The Hawks controlled the match from start to finish, showcasing balanced offense, sharp defense, and steady poise in key moments.
Adalei Lefebvre led the charge with 11 kills on an impressive .550 hitting percentage, anchoring the attack with confidence and precision. Setter Marissa Duncan orchestrated the offense smoothly, dishing out 22 assists while adding 8 digs and a pair of kills. Middle blocker Addisen Ford was a force at the net, tallying 8 kills and 3 solo blocks to stifle Wenatchee Valley's hitters. Off the bench, Olivia Willis energized the defense with 13 digs and two aces, while outside hitter Eva Biladeau chipped in 6 kills and consistent serve pressure.
After a tight opening stretch in the first set, Columbia Basin used a mid-set run powered by Lefebvre and Ford to pull away, closing out 25–21. The second set followed a similar pattern—Wenatchee Valley hung close early, but the Hawks' depth proved too much, with timely swings from Biladeau and Miller sealing another 25–21 win. In the final frame, Columbia Basin's serving game took over; four aces, including a crucial stretch from Auddy Gray, helped push the Hawks ahead for good.
The win showcased Columbia Basin's offensive rhythm and defensive cohesion, with six players recording multiple kills and 60 total digs as a team. The Hawks will look to carry that momentum into their next conference matchup at home on Friday against Big Bend.
