BRODHEAD - The Cardinals had control all night, knocking off Beloit Turner (0-8 Rock Valley South) in straight sets, 25-16, 25-17, 25-16.
"It's been baby steps a lot of the time, but we're gradually getting better," head coach Erin Kammerer said. "Our goal tonight was to come together and step out of our box and support each other and not just themselves. I think they did that."
Brodhead senior Mariah Mohns had six kills and two blocks, sophomore Heather Shanks had three aces and sophomore Taylor Douglas finished her night with nine assists, four aces and seven digs.
Freshman Carly Mohns led Brodhead (4-4) in kills with nine and fellow freshman Rachel Heller had seven digs.
"They're coming along," Kammerer said of her four freshmen. "They have some good leaders that are showing them the right way to go. They are definitely helping us."
The Cardinals next travel to Orfordville Parkview Thursday.
