CASPER — The Green River Lady Wolves survived a tense five-set battle to open the Class 4A State Volleyball Tournament Thursday at the Ford Wyoming Center, defeating Sheridan 3-2 to advance to Friday’s semifinal round.

In what proved to be one of the tournament’s most competitive matches so far, Green River dropped a tight opening set 26-24 before finding its rhythm. The Lady Wolves rallied to win the next two sets 25-19 and 25-15.

Sheridan refused to go quietly, however, fighting back in the fourth set to even the match 2-2 with a 25-23 win. The back-and-forth contest marked the second five-set match of the day in Class 4A, following Laramie’s five-set victory over Evanston earlier in the afternoon.
