ALBANY - Even without one of its top hitters, the Black Hawk volleyball team pulled out a four-game win over Albany Thursday night.
Black Hawk (5-4 Six Rivers East) played without junior Jen Wellnitz and was still able to defeat the Comets 25-22, 25-16, 17-25, 25-13.
Black Hawk junior Mikayla Sigafus powered the Warriors with 10 kills, four aces and one block.
"It was the Mikayla Sigafus show tonight," Albany coach Connie Wunschel said.
Black Hawk senior Kelly Neuenschwander had eight assists. The Comets had five service errors on their first six serves.
