The West Central Area volleyball team is looking more and more like contenders with every win as the Knights improved to 8-0 after going 4-0 and winning the Wheaton-Herman-Norcross Tournament on Saturday.
The Knights beat Lac qui Parle Valley (16-25, 25-14, 15-10), Wheaton (25-11, 25-14), Mahnomen (26-24, 25-23) and Park Christian (27-25, 25-16).
“It has been at least four years since the Knights have defeated Wheaton in volleyball,” head coach Melissa Foslien said. “The girls came ready for this game. We had solid serving by Lexi Hunter, who came in for Halle Foslien. She hit spots and kept the Warriors out of system.
“Elizabeth Rustan and Macy Grosz also served well. Kaitlyn Hansen played wonderful defense. Her quickness and steadiness in serve receive was on point. Great touches by our blockers kept the Warriors working to hit around our blocks, which forced them into some errors. We face them again on Tuesday. We hope that we can continue to play well against them through this season. They are usually a very tough team.”
Rustan had 11 digs, four kills and served 12-of-13 to help lead the way against the Warriors. Mya Foslien added four kills, and Halle Foslien had three. Macy Grosz finished with 10 assists that match.
