Cards start with sweep of Hornets

The Cardinal volleyball team showed their net presence from the start of the night as they dominated the hitting game en route to a 3-0 win over HWC on Tuesday, August 30, in Carrington.

Game one was all about the power up front for Carrington. The Cardinals amassed 10 kills in the opening set, and were led by four from Haley Wolsky. Emma Hone had three blocks, while Kacie Rexin had two aces as Carrington won set one 25-13. Larissa Arnold had two aces in the opener for HWC.

The second set was much like the first with nine different Cardinal players getting a kill. In total, Carrington had 17 kills in the second set with Hone leading the match with five. Carrington also tallied three more blocks with three players recording one each. The Hornets' Aubree Wolfe had two kills and HWC had four kills in the set as they dropped game two, 25-9.

Game three was once again controlled by the home team from the start. The Hornets rallied midway through game three with an ace from Christalea Wagner and a kill from Emma Dockter as they scored five straight, but the power of Carrington was too much as the Cardinals claimed game three, 25-12, and the match, 3-0.

Overall, Hone and Wolsky had 10 and nine kills, respectively, and the Cardinals had nine players who tallied 42 kills on the night. Carrington also had a nice night at the net with eight blocks with Hone leading the way with five. Rexin led the home team with six of the team's 11 aces.

Harvey-Wells County had a hard time getting any rhythm going with the Cardinal presence at the net. Dockter had three kills for the Hornets, as HWC had just 10 kills on the night. HWC served well, but had only three aces, with Larissa Arnold leading with two.
