CARNEY DEFEATS NORTH DICKINSON

CARNEY — North Dickinson’s volleyball team traveled to Skyline Central Conference foe Carney-Nadeau Thursday night. Carney defeated the Nordics 3-0 (25-18, 25-13, 25-16).

“We had early leads in both the first and third sets. but weren’t able to hold on to them, said North Dickinson coach Taylor Johnson. “Defensively, we did do a lot of things well tonight.”

Johnson pointed to Ashton Hord with eight digs, and Kassandra Cary, 11 blocks on the defensive side. “We struggled to get anything going on offense, we were out of rhythm due to how strong of an opponent Carney is,” Johnson added.

Johnson noted that, overall, the Nordics team is very young and playing a quality opponent will make them better down the road.

Micha Lindholm, Vanessa Lindholm, Isabella Reimer and Eleigh Stout served 100% on the night.

Tuesday, ND travels to SCC rival Forest Park. Carney won the JV match 2-1.
