The NRHEG High School volleyball team put one in the win column in a tournament at Minnesota State-Mankato Saturday.

The Panthers picked up the season’s first victory on a tiebreaker over Mankato Loyola. They lost their other matches, to Austin on a tiebreaker and 2-0 to Sibley East.

Last Thursday, the Panthers traveled to Blooming Prairie and dropped a 3-0 decision.

On Tuesday, Sept. 2, they hosted WEM in their home opener and fell 3-0, with game scores of 25-13, 25-20 and 25-13.

We played the strongest during game two,” said coach Onika Peterson. “We passed the ball well and were much more aggressive hitting. We really need to cut down on our mental errors; they killed us. We had numerous missed serves and players in the net.”
