COEUR d’ALENE — Reilley Chapman had 12 digs as the Lake City Timberwolves beat the Lewiston Bengals 25-8, 25-21, 25-15 in an 5A Inland Empire League match on Tuesday.

“We started the game really, really well and served aggresively,” Lake City coach Mike Summers said. “We caught them out of system a little bit, and defensively, I thought we controlled the night. Our back row defense was really locked in and didn’t let anything touch the ground in that first set.”

Ashley Kaufman had 12 kills, Klaire Mitchell 20 assists and five aces, Tanai Jenkins three blocks and Nellie Reese three aces for Lake City (12-1, 4-0 5A IEL), which competes in the Rocky Mountain Invitational starting on Friday at Rocky Mountain High in Meridian. The Timberwolves will face Borah, Caldwell and Capital in pool play on Friday.

“It will be a good measuring stick for us as far as where we stand against other teams from the southern part of the state,” Summers said.

Lewiston is 0-4 in league.
