HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High got off to a slow start Tuesday, but finished with a flourish.
The Lady Cubs dropped their first set to visiting Cherryvale, 26-24, but rebounded to win the next three sets, and the match, 25-15, 25-13, 25-20.
The teams originally were slated to play each other in Baxter Springs, but had to relocate to Humboldt’s Community Fieldhouse because of a schedule change.
“We let the first set slip away, but the girls came back and really played some solid volleyball,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said.
Jada Dangerfield and Jessica Myers shared the team lead with seven kills apiece, followed by Kady Hart with five. Kirstyn Murrow had 18 assists, followed by Kenisyn Hottenstein with 10 assists and five digs. Myers also had 12 digs to lead the Lady Cubs, along with six ace serves. Kirsten Kobold and Murrow had four aces apiece. Isabelle Murrow and Brooklyn Ellis had three aces.
“Kenisyn had some great sets for us and everyone played with great effort,” Meadows said. “It was a solid win for us.”
