Underwood hosted West Central Area in a high school volleyball match on Wednesday night with the Rockets posting a 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-19) victory over the Knights.

“We started out slow, which was a little disappointing initially because we had the goal of playing at a little bit of a faster tempo,” commented Head Coach Breck Grove.  “After a few back and forth points, we were able to pick up the pace, even against a scrappy WCA defense.  Our setters did a good job of mixing up the sets and we had a pretty even attack tonight, which was fun to see.”  

The Rockets were led by Reese Richards (16 assists, 10/10 serving, 1 ace), Kallyn Grove (20/20 servinig, 4 aces), Brianna Evavold (21/21 serving, 1 ace, 6 digs), Brooke Hovland (12 digs), Moraes Bugbee (10 kills) and Jorja Gabrielson (9 kills).

Leaders for WCA were Elizabeth Rustan (6 kills), Brooke Anderson (4 kills), Macy Grosz (digs, 11 assists), Kaitlyn Hansen (7 digs), Morgan Stark (7 digs, 4 aces) and Kennedy Ulrich (2 aces).

“The girls played hard tonight but came up short, losing in three sets,” reported WCA Head Coach Missy Foslien. “They started each match strong. They are improving each game in confidence and discipline, we just need to cut down on our own errors on offense and stop teams from getting more than a 2-3 point lead.”

The Knights are scheduled to play Rothsay in Barrett on Thursday.
