CASPER — The Green River Lady Wolves are heading back to the Class 4A State Championship match for the first time since 2009 after outlasting top-seeded Laramie in another five-set thriller Friday night at the Ford Wyoming Center.

Just one day after surviving a five-set battle against Sheridan in the quarterfinals, Green River showed grit and determination once again, defeating the Plainsmen 3-2 (21-25, 25-11, 25-23, 21-25, 15-13) to earn a spot in Saturday’s title match.

The Lady Wolves, the No. 2 seed from the West, entered the semifinal looking to break a 16-year drought since their last state championship appearance, a year that ended with a 3-2 win over Evanston in 2009.
