FELCH TOWNSHIP — A solid all-around performance powered the home team to a straight-set victory as North Dickinson swept North Central, 3-0 (25-12, 25-8, 25-14) in a Skyline Central Conference match Thursday night at the Carl F. Lemin Jr. Gymnasium in Felch.

The Nordics had a constant and enthusiastic presence around the net throughout the match. Their communication was great, their serving was accurate and their front row hitting was very strong — which had the Jets reeling through most of the match.

“Tonight was a great night for us, we were able to get everyone some playing time, which meant as different girls entered the game, they were coming in with enthusiasm,” said North Dickinson head coach Taylor Johnson. “The girls looked happy to be back on the court.”

The Nordics had to reschedule two matches as their team dealt with some COVID-19 issues, but are back to full strength.

“We came back a lot stronger than I expected. I was worried that our time off would mess up our timing and rhythm on the court, but it didn’t seem too,” Johnson added.

“I am also very proud of how well we ran our offense tonight, and kept North Central on their toes.”

Kassandra Cary had 10 kills, with Ashton Hord recording a half-dozen kills of her own. Cary had six aces, Gabby Schultz had three aces, Lily Depotie had four and Isabella Reimer also had three aces for the Nordics.

The Jets served well at times and had fairly strong communication. NC came out and played their best set of the night in the opening set.

“That’s a normal thing for us,” said Jets head coach Rick Mick. “Our defense at the net was good for the most part, though we struggled with defending No. 3 (Cary). She’s so explosive up front for them.”

North Central, who remains winless on the season, returns to action on Tuesday when they host SCC foe Mid Peninsula.

“Our serve receive has been improving in each match as the season has gone along,” Mick added.

North Dickinson remains home as they’ll host SCC foe Munising on Thursday. The Nordics also won the jayvee contest, 2-1.
