Coach Onika Peterson’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team continued to battle injuries in its quest to stay above the .500 mark.
The Panthers could win just one of three matches last week. NRHEG fell to Mankato East Sept. 16, bounced back for a non-conference win over Maple River the following evening, and lost a conference match at home to Medford last Thursday.
“We still need to cut down on our mental errors,” said Peterson.
The Panthers dropped to fifth in the conference (1-2) and to 6-7-1 overall.

NEW RICHLAND – The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva boys’ cross country team had its best showing of the season in front of the home crowd. Unfortunately, it did not turn out the same for the girls.
Mike Weber’s cross country teams made their lone home appearance of the season, hosting their annual Panther Invitational at Riverview Golf Course Sept. 17.
The Panther boys finished third in the eight-team field, improving their overall record to 17-41 this season.
The NRHEG girls had some individual bests, but could not escape last place in the eight-team field. The Panther girls slipped to 2-20 overall.

MEDFORD – The surprising New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team pulled its second straight upset win Friday.
After shocking Waterville-Elysian-Morristown a week ago, the Panthers hit the road and stunned eighth-ranked Medford 26-7.
“We are excited to be 2-1, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork. “It’s really fun to see this team improve each week.”
The Panthers remained in a first-place tie with Maple River in the Gopher/Valley AA Conference at 2-0. NRHEG raised its overall mark to 2-1.
