The Noxon Lady Red Devils won one of three volleyball matches last week, defeating Alberton 26-24, 21-25, 25-22, 25-22 in Alberton Tuesday, falling 25-16, 25-17, 25-23 in Troy Thursday and 25-15, 25-14, 25-14 to Charlo in Noxon Saturday.
The Devils’ only scheduled action this week is a match with the Two Eagle River Eagles in Pablo Thursday.
Coach Toni Richter is taking heart in how her young team continues to improve. “I’m getting more and more excited about this team as they continue to impress me with the amount of growth in just the last couple weeks,” she said. “I have to remind myself often how old they are.”
Against Alberton, Mads Thompson hit six kills and 13 aces to lead Noxon, Sandy Bonney added four kills and four blocks, Sydnie Eichert hit seven assists and six digs, Nevaeh Christensen five assists and seven digs and Lyla Collins four assists.
At Troy, Thompson had seven kills and four aces, Bonney six kills, 10 digs and five blocks, Eichert eight assists and seven digs, Christensen six assists, Kaylie Mercer seven dogs and Danni Hill two blocks.
Finishing the week up with Charlo in Noxon Saturday, Bonney hit two kills, four digs and two blocks in that match, Mercer two kills and a block, Sydnie Eichert three assists and a dig, Thompson four aces and Laynie Eichert two.
Richter is upbeat about her team’s progress. “We still have a lot of things to work on individually, and as a team,” she said. “They stepped up, and put up a good fight against Charlo.”
