Lady Cougars Have Tough Week of Volleyball

By Claire Wiltse, Sports Contributor

It was a tough week for the LDNE volleyball team as they won only one of five matches during the week.

Coach Hathaway stated, “Over the past week we have had some tough matches. We have been close to getting the W, but just have not been able to finish the job. We are becoming a better team every time we hit the floor and we are staying positive as we go into the middle of our season.”

The Lady Cougars now have a record of 3-9.  If the three set matches had gone their way the could have had a 6-6 mark.  The Cougars went down to defeat to Humphrey/LHF, Oakland-Craig, Tekamah-Herman in contests that required a third game.  Only Omaha Roncalli swept Northeast.  LDNE took care of Fort Calhoun in two sets.

On Tuesday, the Cougars hosted a triangular meet.   They lost to (7-5) Humphrey/LHF 2-1.  They had a strong start with a 25-17 win, but dropped the next two sets.  (8-1) Oakland -Craig went three games with the Cougars.  The Knights who are rated in C-2 took the first and third sets for the win.

Tekamah-Herman hosted a tournament on Saturday.  Northeast had a two set loss to (7-5) Omaha Roncalli followed by a two set win over (5-7) Fort Calhoun.  In the game for second place the Cougars came up short against (8-4) T-H.
