Coach Onika Peterson’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team had to survive a week without its top attacker, Carlie Wagner. 

Wagner twisted an ankle in practice and was held out of both matches. The Panthers managed a split despite numerous players switching to new positions. 

NRHEG was swept in three games at Le Sueur-Henderson Sept. 10.

The Panthers rebounded with a four-game victory at home over Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton last Thursday. 

NRHEG stands 1-1 in the Gopher Conference and 5-5-1 overall.

MAPLETON – Coach Mike Weber continues to see improvement from his New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva cross country runners. 

The Panther boys finished sixth among nine complete teams at last Thursday’s Maple River Invite at Daly Park in Mapleton. 

The NRHEG girls were unable to compete as a team with just four runners available. 

Both Panther squads are 0-3 this season. The boys have an overall mark of 12-39 while the girls are 2-13. 

“The boys ran as well as we have in quite some time,” said Weber. “We were within 12 points of third place.”
