ERIE — Humboldt High’s volleyball team has continued its sterling play of late.
Two days after taking second at a tournament in Burlington, the Lady Cubs returned to the court and swept matches against Yates Center and the host Red Devils.
“I thought the girls played great tonight,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “We have really started to play together really well, which is great this time of year. Our aggressive serving helped keep them out of system tonight and got us a lot of free balls. This team is fun to watch.”
Humboldt rolled past Yates Center, 25-10 and 25-10.
Kady Hart led the attack with six kills, followed by Jessica Myers with five and Jada Dangerfield with three. Myers, meanwhile, racked up eight service aces, while Karley Wools had three blocks. Kirsten Kobold had seven digs; Kirstyn Murrow had 14 assists. Dangerfield had five digs and Brooklyn Ellis four.
The proceedings were a little tighter against Erie, but Humboldt still swept both sets, 25-22 and 25-18.
This time, Dangerfield took on a leading role with three aces, seven kills and seven digs digs. Murrow had a team-high nine kills and shared high honors in assists with Kenisyn Hottenstein with 10 apiece. Kobold and Myers each had seven digs.
Yates Center dropped its match to Erie, 25-5 and 25-14.
