(WCTV) &#8211; This fall, the Chiles indoor volleyball team won their second of back-to-back state titles. The majority of those girls play beach volleyball, and that team is now a win away from a state title, as the Timberwolves swept Lourdes Academy 5-0 in the Class 2A state semifinals Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe knew everyone here would be tough competition,\u201d said senior Natalie Gibson. \u201cObviously we have a lot of competition for how much we\u2019ve been dominating on our home courts, but we knew we had to come in with the mindset that anybody could beat us and we really took care of business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019m excited for the kids, our coaches and our administration,\u201d added head coach Angela Hultquist. \u201cEveryone is supportive. I love these girls.
