WELLSVILLE — The Wellsville High School volleyball team shook off a three-game loss in pool play to finish second Saturday in the Wellsville Invitational.
Wellsville, West Franklin and Anderson County finished with 3-1 marks in pool play. Wellsville and West Franklin came out of the tiebreaker procedure to advance to the semifinals.
Wellsville defeated Eudora, 25-12, 25-19, but fell to Osage City, 25-21, 25-22 in the championship match.
In pool play, Wellsville downed West Franklin (25-15, 25-14), Anderson County (25-19, 25-14) and Baldwin (22-25, 25-14, 25-17).
Wellsville fell to Atchison County, 16-25, 25-22, 25-14.
“We started out in our first two matches very strong, but experienced a slight drop-off after that,” Wellsville coach Eric Evans said. “I thought our team played pretty consistently throughout the day, but we basically played 4 matches in a row, and couldn’t quite keep our level of play up in the championship match. Take nothing away from Osage City, though, they were undefeated on the day and really played well in the finals.”
Wellsville plays Tuesday at home against Jayhawk-Linn and Osawatomie.
