The North team won the first set 25-16, with some amazing aces from #14. Along with teamwork that forces the other team to stumble during their attempts to get the ball back over the net. North’s lead was making this game out to be an easy win for the Huskies.

In the second set, North won again with a score of 25-11, with strong hits from the middle blocker #1 and outside #9. The team scored point after point, leaving the other team scrambling for scraps of points. Once again the game is in favor of the North Huskies. 

Finally, in the third set, the team won 25-15. There was an amazing effort from everyone on the team. The game had all the girls ending with smiles on their faces knowing that their skill in the game would continue to improve throughout the rest of the season. The team rounded up and cheered out Rancho as a thank you and went home excited for their next game.
