McCook, Neb. - The North Platte Community College Knights Volleyball Team dropped a nail-biter to McCook Community College in five sets Tuesday night.
The final scores were: 15-25, 26-24, 26-24, 18-25 and 13-15.
Alysen Daniels, of Mullen, led with 13 kills. Peyton Negley, of North Platte, also went for 10 kills. Taylor Hansen, of Yuma, Colo. had 10 kills and seven blocks while Madi Neely, of Broken Bow, had four kills.
Allie Schneider, of Humphrey, Neb., tallied 45 set assists, and Ruby Valle, of Weldona, Colo., recorded 20 digs.
“We battled and came up short,” said NPCC head volleyball coach Alexa McCall. “I think we did some nice things – we blocked better than we have been and passed in serve receive better, but errors were our enemy today. We can’t miss 14 serves and expect to win. We have some other games this week, and I would like to see us execute our jobs better, and I think we can be successful.”
The Knights dip to 11-12 on the season. They will return to McCook Thursday to take on Lamar Community College at 6 p.m.
