ARGYLE - New Argyle volleyball coach Shelby Rideout picked up her first coaching win as the Orioles knocked off Black Hawk in four games 25-23, 25-18, 23-25, 25-17 Tuesday night.
"It felt amazing," Rideout said. "It was a blast. We got a little flustered and frustrated in the second game and we came back to win. It was exciting to win at home."
With the win, Argyle improves to 3-1, 1-0 Six Rivers East. Argyle junior Cassidy Steiner had eight kills and junior Jessica Treuthardt had eight blocks. Senior Kayla Ostby racked up 16 assists and junior Rachel Tollakson had 15 digs. Rachel Saalsaa picked up five aces to lead the Orioles.
Juda 3, Albany 1
JUDA - There's something about seeing Albany on the other side of the net that brings out the best in the Panthers.
Juda (3-1-1, 1-0 Six Rivers East) defeated the Comets for the second time in four days, 25-19, 25-23, 15-25, 25-16.
Juda senior Brianna Knudtson racked up 32 assists and had four aces. Senior Brittany Moe had 10 kills and senior Miranda Trotter had seven kills. Junior Jessica Jordan collected eight blocks and Tabatha Davis had 20 assists.
"They just really played together as a team and all covered really well," Juda coach Tara Lund said. "I think this will help with their confidence."
Albany seniors Julia Farley, Carlie Peters and Cassidy Bump each had four kills to lead the Comets. Bump added seven assists, and Farley had two aces. Senior Kirstie Kauk had a team-high 22 digs.
New Glarus 3, Poynette 0
POYNETTE - After a rough 0-4 start at the Monroe Invitational Saturday, the New Glarus volleyball team bounced back in a big way, hitting the road and defeating Poynette Tuesday.
New Glarus volleyball coach Casey Boatman said the turnaround win came at a good time in terms of building confidence.
"It was good," Boatman said. "(The competition) was definitely a lot higher last Saturday. It was a good team to come back and play. The girls played hard."
The Glarner Knights dispatched the Pumas 25-20, 25-16, 25-18.
Junior Rachel Tyler led the team in kills with 7, senior Alaina Legler put up 18 assists, and senior Annie Jones notched a block. Jones and Karina Moen tied for the team lead in aces with three each.
"They came in and got off to a quick start, and as soon as it started rolling the confidence went up and they put it together fast," Boatman said of his squad. "It was nice to see, this early in the season."
The Knights will open up Capitol South play Thursday as they host Waterloo at 6:30 p.m. The Pirates will serve as another tough test in this yet-early season.
"Waterloo is probably the best team in the conference this year," Boatman said. "We're hoping to have enough confidence after this win tonight. It'll be nice to see where we're at in the conference come Thursday."
"It felt amazing," Rideout said. "It was a blast. We got a little flustered and frustrated in the second game and we came back to win. It was exciting to win at home."
