The NRHEG volleyball team dropped a couple tough matches last week, falling 3-2 at Alden-Conger on Tuesday and 3-1 to Maple River in New Richland Thursday, Sept. 8. The Panthers fell to 1-3 overall and 0-2 in the Gopher Conference.
“We battled with a tough team tonight,” said Panthers coach Onika Peterson after Tuesday’s marathon loss at Alden, where the Knights prevailed 26-28, 25-22, 25-23, 27-29 and 15-11. “Alden at times had us back on our heels — they had us scrambling on defense. Because we were scrambling it was difficult for us to be able to set our offense up at times, which led to not being as aggressive hitting wise as we would like to be. We need to regroup and refocus.”
