CHERRYVALE — Humboldt High’s volleyball team went 1-1 on the court Tuesday.
The Lady Cubs won in straight sets over host Cherryvale, but a few lapses were costly in a three-set defeat at the hands of Baxter Springs.
“We started out playing well against Baxter but we had too many mistakes late in the match,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “We have to pass better and make better decisions late in the match when it is close.”
The Lady Cubs won the first set against Baxter Springs, 25-19, but fell in the next two, 25-23 and 25-21.
Nautianna Goforth’s 12 kills led the way in defeat. She also had three blocks, five digs and an ace.
Kirstyn Murrow had eight kills, Karley Wools chipped in with five kills, one ace, a block and nine digs. Kenisyn Hottenstein followed with 35 set assists and four blocks. Brooklyn Ellis had seven digs. Hottenstein and Shelby Shaughnessy notched three kills apiece.
The Lady Cubs’ 25-9 and 25-21 romp over Cherryvale was much more to Meadows’ liking.
Hottenstein and Murrow both served up three aces in the victory, while Wools and Murrow added eight and five kills, respectively. Shaughnessy had four kills. Wools and Goforth both had blocks; Hottenstein had 22 set assists. Wools and Goftorth each had four digs.
