The Humboldt High volleyball team looked like two different teams when they split a couple of matches at Oswego Tuesday. 

The Lady Cubs (3-5-1) took their first match over Oswego, 25-9 in both sets. 

Shelby Shaughnessy led from the serving line for Humboldt with two aces and a 95.2% serve rate. Ricklyn Hillmon and Shaughnessy led the team with  seven kills apiece while Chanlynn Wrestler had three kills.

Kenisyn Hottenstein led Humboldt with 20 assists. 

Skylar Hottenstein led the Lady Cubs on the defensive end with 12 digs. Cassidy Friend recorded five digs and Kinley Tucker and Wrestler each had four digs. 

Humboldt dropped their second match to Neodesha, 25-14 and 25-22. 

“We played well against Oswego,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “We came out flat against Neodesha in the first set. They played harder and better than we did. The second set we started to play our game and our serve received was much better, but we still have some things to work on.” 

Skylar Hottenstein led the Lady Cubs at the serving line with one ace. Offensively, Shaughnessy led the way with 10 kills and Hull added five. Wrestler and Hillmon also each had two kills. 

On defense, Skylar Hottenstein had 12 digs followed by Shaughnessy, eight, and Friend, Wrestler and Tucker with two apiece.. Kenisyn Hottenstein had a team-high 17 assists.
