Mental errors continued to haunt the New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team last week.
The Panthers suffered Gopher Conference losses to Blooming Prairie and Faribault BA, both at home.
“We have to minimize our mental errors,” said NRHEG coach Onika Peterson. “We are still not talking and the ball drops without anyone going for it.”
NRHEG fell to fifth place in the conference with a 3-5 record. The Panthers are 8-13-3 overall, including a 2-6 record on their home court.

MAPLETON – It was the type of game you expected from two teams battling for first place in the conference. You just didn’t expect it to take two days to decide the outcome.
NRHEG and Maple River started their first-place battle in Mapleton Friday evening. The game was suspended late in the third quarter due to inclement weather and resumed Saturday afternoon.
When it was over, Maple River remained undefeated by edging the Panthers 10-7 in overtime.
“Our kids played hard,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork. “I’m proud of the effort they put forward.”
