BRODHEAD - The Brodhead volleyball team toppled Orfordville Parkview in three sets in a hard-fought victory, 25-16, 28-26, 25-17.

Brodhead coach Erin Kammerer said it feels great to win at home.

"It's nice to be able to have a three-game sweep on our floor," Kammerer said. She said junior Kylie Moe did a "great job tonight," with her 12 kills and four digs.

"She has really been our rock all season long," Kammerer said.

The Cardinals (25-7) came out ahead thanks to Kegan Jacobson, who had three blocks, Erin Nyhus serving two aces and senior Payton Wright who had a whopping 34 assists.

The Cardinals play Cuba City Saturday, and Kammerer said they will be a tough team.

"If they get going on their offense they can be pretty hard to stop," she said of Cuba City.



Cuba City 3, New Glarus 0

CUBA CITY - The New Glarus volleyball team was knocked out in the semifinals Thursday by Cuba City, who swept the Knights in straight sets, 25-6, 25-15, 25-9.

The Glarner Knights (8-20) had a tough game against Cuba City's Chloe Pustina, who served three aces and notched 22 assists. Cuba City's Jesse Marti put down eight kills and 11 digs.

New Glarus junior McKinley Righter had five kills. New Glarus senior setter Breanne Kreklow recorded nine assists, and Devon Boll had one serving ace and one block.

New Glarus coach Kelsey Schmit said Cuba City seniors used their age and experience from the beginning of the game to the end, with some "big hits and big kills" that took the Knights off their game.

"They (Cuba City) just play at a faster pace than we're used to," Schmit said. "They came out ready to go. They have a huge front row compared to us. We have a very young team this year, who've been learning and growing the whole way."

Schmit said the season was a learning experience for most of her squad, who returned only one varsity starter from last year.

"It was a rebuilding year, with girls playing in positions they may not have played in before. It was a lot of growing."

Schmit said she is excited for three sophomores who gained court experience this season and a strong set of juniors who are "champing at the bit to get on the court and see playing time."

"It should be a good group to start the year with next year," Schmit said. "They're excited to improve and keep working on what we started this year."
