With four of its five teams in the top 15 statewide, the 4A state volleyball tournament in Forest Grove could be one big Cowapa League party.

Two of the teams hoping to be there met on the court Thursday night at the Brick House, where No. 15-ranked Astoria hosted fifth-ranked Tillamook.

It wasn’t the walk in the park that the Cheesemakers thought it might be, but Tillamook eventually scored a four-set win, 25-11, 19-25, 25-15, 25-17.

After suffering through a 14-point loss in Game 1, the Lady Fishermen turned the match upside down by completely dominating Tillamook in Game 2.

Kes Sandstrom served Astoria to a 3-0 lead, and the Lady Fishermen went on a serving rampage shortly after, with an ace by Kelsey Fausett and three ace serves from Hailey O’Brien.

An off-speed touch by Julia Norris and an ace serve by Taja-Rae Tuimato led to a 17-5 lead for Astoria.

Kajsa Jackson dominated the middle, sending three straight kills to the floor for a 24-16 lead, before the Fishermen closed out the game.

The Mooks regained their Game 1 form in Game 3, building a 14-9 lead on two kills off the block by Isabel Hurliman.

Astoria closed to within 15-13, but Tillamook’s 10-2 run gave the Cheesemakers a two games-to-one lead.

Tillamook’s big hitters — seniors Hurliman and Makinley Johnson, and sophomore Nessa Hurliman — took over in Game 4.

Tillamook held leads of 15-4 and 21-8, before a long serving run by Fausett brought Astoria back to within 21-15.

But a long break at the scorer’s table was just what Tillamook needed to turn the momentum, as the Mooks outscored Astoria 4-2 to close out the match.

Junior varsity: Astoria defeated Tillamook, 25-17, 25-22, 25-13.
