Game 5: #6 Bellevue 3, #11 Stanwood 1
25-17, 25-23, 21-25, 25-16
Strong net play, led by senior Kaitlyn Nguyen, was the difference for the Wolverines as she garnered the MVP.
Fellow senior Mia Palcisco was also a factor up front along with junior Trinity Aptacy as Bellevue (18-2) moved on to the quarterfinals. Third-seeded Lakes (17-3) is the next opponent.
Stanwood (15-3) stayed close in the second set and got on the board in the third, holding off a late rally. The Spartans will square off with No. 19 Gig Harbor (13-8) in consolation play Friday at 5:15 p.m.
Game 6: #3 Lakes 3, #19 Gig Harbor 0
25-16, 15-20, 25-15
The Lancers (17-3) have been streaky this season and hope to add another win when they play No. 6 Bellevue (18-2) in Friday’s quarterfinals at 9 p.m.
Lakes had won eight in a row before losing 3-1 to North Thurston in their district championship match. Two of the team’s three losses have been to the Rams.
The Landers were in control throughout against Gig Harbor, which they also beat at district, with Kerra Tualamali’i landing the MVP tag. They are known for their defense, anchored by senior Marley Alefaio, the Puget Sound League’s two-time defensive player of the year.
Gig Harbor (13-8), which lost to Lakes for the third time this year, faces No. 11 Stanwood (15-3) Friday at 5:15 p.m. in consolation play.
Game 7: #7 Ridgeline 3, #10 Bishop Blanchet 0
25-16, 25-20, 25-10
The defending champions rode the all-round play of MVP Jade Livingston to move back into the quarterfinals.
Livingston, a senior libero, not only played exceptional defense, but was strong at the service line and was strong in the passing game as well. Brynlee Allred, a 6-foot-3 junior, was a beast at the net.
The Falcons (14-6) play No. 2 Mount Spokane (16-3) Friday at 9 p.m.
Seniors Wylie Del Secco and Lucy Slavik earned mentions for Blanchet (20-5), which battles No. 15 Timberline(15-7) Friday at 5:15 p.m. in an elimination match.
Game 8: #2 Mount Spokane 3, #15 Timberline 1
25-18, 18-25, 25-23, 25-23
They might have been seeded far apart, but the two squads played a competitive match as close as the scores indicate.
Timberline hung tough throughout the match and had chances in each of the final two sets, but Mount Spokane found ways to finish when it counted. Senior Berkeley Neilson, the MVP with 12 kills and four blocks, was the clear catalyst. Her final swing ended the match.
Avery Nelson, another 12th-grader, had some big kills as well, collecting four of them in the first set.
Mount Spokane (16-3) gets defending-champion Ridgeline (14-6) in the quarterfinals Friday at 9 p.m.

Game 9: #5 Lakeside (Seattle) 3, #12 Everett 0
25-14, 25-21, 25-17

Game 10: #4 Prairie 3, #13 White River 1
25-11, 28-26, 22-25, 25-23
White River certainly didn’t look like a team that had to survive a play-in match to reach the round of 16.
The Hornets’ two losses coming into the tournament were to No. 1 North Thurston and No. 3 Lakes.
Prairie did roll in the opening set, which junior Gracie Jacoby ended with a decisive kill enroute to her MVP moniker. But the Falcons nearly let a 24-19 lead slip away in the second as White River forced them to extend play.
The Hornets responded by winning the third set and at times looked as though they would take the fourth with leads of 19-16 and 23-20.
But the Falcons continued to fight. With the score tied at 23, Jacoby buried a ball to get to match point and Sophomore Yana Tkachenko finished it with an ace.
Prairie (18-1), which owes its loss to Camas, a Class 4A contender, puts its title hopes on the line against No. 5 Lakeside of Seattle (20-6) Friday at 9 p.m.
White River (18-4) faces No. 12 Everett (14-7) at 5:15 p.m. The loser is eliminated.
Game 11: #8 Central Kitsap 3, #9 Seattle Prep 0
26-24, 25-20, 25-14
Junior Sydney Lingenbrink launched some thundering kills and was a defensive force at the net to land MVP honors and lead the CK into the quarterfinals.
