YATES CENTER — Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs were on the road and opening Tri-Valley League play Tuesday.
They took on host and TVL rival Yates Center High’s Wildcats. The Lady Cubs came away with a 21-25, 25-20, 25-20 victory.
“This was a hard fought match. It was the first night of league play and it took us a while to settle down,” said Stephanie Spletcher, Humboldt head coach.
“We were making too many unforced errors but we got in a groove and got the job done.”
Humboldt also played a non-league match against Frontenac and lost 25-22, 25-14.
Spletcher said her team played well in the first set but “lost some momentum when they started adjusting and tipping to our open spots.”
Kaylie Riebel powered down 17 kills — 13 against Yates Center — plus had two blocks and one service ace. Sheri Middleton put up 15 blocks — nine against Frontenac — and had 13 kills and four service aces.
Breanna Kline had seven kills and one block. Rachel Taylor had three kills. Anna Setter put up 37 set assists. She and Haley Riebel each had one service ace.
