The present and the future of the Nelson volleyball program were on full display Saturday afternoon.

Senior Kalista Lukovich had a match-high 23 kills, and freshman Madi Andrews added 11 kills as the Hawks dethroned defending OSAA Class 6A state champion West Linn with a straight-set home victory, 26-24, 25-13, 25-22.

The victory sends the Hawks (26-3), who ended Central Catholic’s 17-year run atop the Mt. Hood Conference, to the main tournament site for the first time, where they’ll face Oregon City in the quarterfinals at 8 a.m. Friday at Forest Grove High School.

“It’s a really big accomplishment,” said Lukovich, an Eastern Washington commit. “I know what we did last year, but then we lost in the second round, so we didn’t really get to go to state and put our name on the board. Now, we’ll get to do that, which is a really exciting experience, especially being a senior.”

Andrews hardly imagined such an experience as a freshman, with the Hawks snapping Central Catholic’s 81-match MHC win streak and taking a set against No. 1 Jesuit (one of three teams to do so this year).

“I was hoping that this would happen, but it’s just so surprising that, it’s my freshman year for me and the second year for Nelson, that we get to do this,” she said. “It’s what we’ve talked about this whole year. This was our mission, to get here, and it’s just such a big accomplishment for us to beat the teams that we’ve looked forward to beating at the beginning of the season.”

Among those teams were the Lions (17-10), who won last year’s title with a senior-laden team led by 6A player of the year Emily Warmenhoven. Of this season’s players, only seniors Addie Hoover and Amyah Semau received significant action during the championship run, and Hoover acknowledged the team faced a lot of pressure throughout their title defense.

“I’m really proud of this group,” said Hoover, who had 12 kills in her final match. “Everybody compared us to us, and everybody wanted us to do it again. But we just did our own thing. We were our own team, our own people, and that’s all that matters. What we did today, I’m super proud. I feel like we left our hearts on the court.”

They showed that heart in the third set, when the Hawks built a 20-12 lead and looked ready to close out the match. Instead, junior Caroline Nielsen served six consecutive points, with Semau making three kills and Nielsen serving an ace to close the deficit to 20-19.

An Andrews kill finally stopped the run, and the teams exchanged sideouts the rest of the way until Luckovich had back-to-back kills to finish the match.

“At the beginning of the season, we probably would have just rolled over,” Hoover said. “We fought with everything we had. No matter if it was the last game. We just wanted to leave it all on the court, and that was a huge steppingstone for this team.”

The Lions controlled the match early, taking a 19-13 lead on Hoover’s kill in the first set. Slowly, the Hawks chipped away, with Andrews’ ace tying the score at 23-23. The Lions saved one set point, but after Lukovich had a kill, Kaylie Christopher and Madalynn Abraham combined on a block to close the set.

“This is a team that never stops working hard, no matter what, even if it’s coming back from a five-point deficit to push forward,” said Hawks coach Lisa Flaherty-McBee. “It’s really pretty amazing that they don’t get too flustered. They know what they need to do, and they get the job done.”

Now, the Hawks get Oregon City, the Three Rivers League champion which they beat 2-0 at the West Linn Tournament this month. That was the match where Lukovich felt her team flipped a switch as it readies for its first state tournament appearance.

“We all just came together, and we’re playing our hearts out, and that’s how we played tonight,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll get something at state and bring it home.”
