MANKATO – The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team could not overcome a shaky start and saw its season end in the semifinal of the South Sub-Section 2AA.
Top-seeded Kenyon-Wanamingo defeated the Panthers 3-1 at Mankato East last Thursday.
The Knights dominated game one, cruising to an easy 25-11 victory. The Panthers trailed 13-1 to start the match.
NRHEG rebounded well to capture a 25-18 win in game two, tying the match 1-1. The game was tied 16-16 before a pair of Carlie Wagner kills sparked a 9-2 Panther run the rest of the way.

Christensen near perfect; Mosher again among top 25 in Minnesota
Last Tuesday, the NRHEG clay target team hit New Richland Sportsman's Club one last time for the 2013 fall season.
All but set in the fifth-place spot in the conference, the team was primarily looking to finish the season strong.
At the same time, two of the Panther shooters were in a head-to-head tie for the top gun award. One of those shooters was Collin Christenson. Collin had a per round average of 20.6 out of 25 possible targets. This night, however, would see Collin blow that average away as well as almost every target he saw. In his first round, Collin scored a perfect 25/25. This feat alone was a personal best and puts him in the 25 Straight Club. In the second round it took 17 more targets before Christenson made an error. He quickly brushed that off and ended the night nearly perfect at 49/50 targets broken and the team's top gun award.
