The Knights quelled the Storm during a road game in Beatrice Thursday night.
North Platte Community College faced off with Southeast Community College and won in four sets. The final scores were: 20-25, 25-13, 25-16 and 25-19.
Morgan Ramsey led the team with 19 kills. Emily Johnson added another eight, and Avah Steggall notched four more in addition to coming through with 33 assists.
On the defensive side, Whitney Chintala went for 24 digs, Amauri Browning had 23 and Tessa Metschke tallied 14. Browning also put down four aces.
“This was a big win for us for region standings and just as a team,” said NPCC volleyball head coach Alexa McCall. “We really picked up our serving and passing in the second set, and that helped our offense and allowed our middles to get involved. We have a big weekend, and this was a good start for us.”
The Knights have two days of doubleheaders coming up in Columbus. They will take on Kansas City Kansas Community College at 5 p.m. Friday and will follow that with a 7 p.m. game against Cowley County Community College.
Action continues Saturday with matches at 1 p.m. against Dakota College at Bottineau and 3 p.m. versus Neosho County Community College.
