ESCANABA---The home opener for the Escanaba High School volleyball team was a marathon Tuesday night as the Iron Mountain Mountaineers came to town. The Mountaineers won the first two sets before the Eskymos rallied to tie the match.
But the visitors won the final set, 15-8, taking the match, 3-2.
Maddy Willis led Escanaba on offense with seven kills and nine solo blocks. Sheyanne Howze had eight kills. Katie Ziebell had six kills and eight digs. And JJ Laviolette was credited with playing strong defense for the Eskymos in a losing effort.
Escanaba travels to Negaunee next Tuesday, and will host Menominee two nights later.
