POST FALLS — A close Game 2 win helped the Post Falls Trojans stay undefeated as they rallied past 5A Inland Empire League foe Lewiston on Thursday night.

Post Falls won 16-25, 26-24, 25-15, 25-16 in a matchup of teams that qualified for last fall’s state 5A tournament.

“We were kind of slow to start — we just didn’t have a lot of fire in that first game,” Trojans coach Willow Hanna said. “We pulled out the second game, and then we controlled the ball better and had more success serving.”

Ashley Jibby led the Post Falls offense with 11 kills. Tori Bertsch had 11 assists, and Allison Meehan and Brianna Friebe had four aces apiece. Meehan added six digs.

The Trojans (11-0 overall, 2-0 5A IEL) compete at the Lakeland Invitational on Saturday.
