The first day back at Murray County Central saw the Rebel volleyball team host the Knights of Russell-Tyler-Ruthton.
MCC fell to the Knights in three matches by scores of 1925, 8-25 and 14-25.
The Rebels came out strongest in game one but it would be all RTR for the night.
Morgan Winter did her best at the net defensively providing bursts of positivity for MCC but Knight’s leader Elissa Hesse just kept her team rolling with consistent attacks and a solid serve-receive.
MCC collected 17 kills as a team, led by Winter with 6 and Atalie Rosenbrook with 3. Jaelen Barstad and Celena Riley added five and four digs respectively. Rounding out the limited stats were setters Kate Slettum with 10 assists and Casey Miller with 6.
Rebel junior varsity also fell to the Knights in three sets, 1425, 16-25 and 11-15. The team recorded four ace serves while Kate Blankenship showed promise chalking up four kills on the night. Setters Kelli Miller (4) and Thea Schneider (3) added seven set assists.
MCC’s freshmen team put up the only win in the final set against the opposing team, 14-25, 17-25 and 25-23. They were led at the service line by Erynn Rohrer with six points, four aces; she also added 13 set assists to pace the young squad. Erica Doeden chipped in seven kills and keeping the ball alive was Suttyn Schryvers (9) and Ava Deacon (17) with a combined 26 digs.
The volleyball team will have ample time to work on things before traveling to Ellsworth Thursday evening, Sept. 15th to take on the Dragons.
