The Lady Raiders ended their volleyball season by competing in the state tournament for the first time since 1991 as they lost in two games in Yakima last week.
Lake Roosevelt first played the Kalama Chinooks Nov. 14, winning the first set 25-15, but losing the next three 25-13, 25-16, and 25-21 for a 3-1 final.
That evening, the Lady Raiders faced off against Chewelah, again winning the first set, 25-13, and dropping the next three 25-19, 25-9, and 25-15.
"We had a wonderful season this year," Head Coach Teri Sue Reed said. "I'm sad to see it end. I'm so proud of this team and the heart and soul they put into being successful. This was a special group of girls. I'm sad to see the seniors [go,] but I'm already excited for next year and the direction we are heading!"
The team will lose six seniors this year, but has seven juniors on the team.
The Lady Raiders finished the season with a win-loss record in the Central Washington 2B League of 6-2 and a total of 14-6 overall.
