ERIE — The Humboldt High volleyball team swept a pair of matches at Erie Monday night.
The Lady Cubs (19-5) took down Yates Center in two sets, 25-17 and 25-11.
Kenisyn Hottenstein led from the serving line with a team-high two aces. Shelby Shaughnessy registered a team-high six kills while Ricklyn Hillmon had five kills. Defensively, Rylan Covey and Hillmon each had one block. Skylar Hottenstein had a team-high 17 digs.
“We came out a little slow against Yates Center, but by the second set, we were more into the game,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “Our serve started to pick up, and we were able to pass the ball better.”
Humboldt then defeated Erie in a couple sets, 25-11 and 25-23.
Shaughnessy led the Lady Cubs from the serving line with a team-high three aces, as well as from the offensive side, where she recorded a team-high eight kills. Wrestler and Hillmon each had four kills.
“Against Erie we came out ready to play and really played well,” said Meadows. “In the second set, Erie came ready to play, and we relaxed a little too much. It was a much closer game.”
Defensively, Shaughnessy had a team-high two blocks. Skylar Hottenstein notched a team-high 12 digs while Friend collected four digs.
Humboldt hosts a home volleyball meet Tuesday at 5 p.m. Results were unavailable at the time of publication.
