Things started off well for the New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva volleyball team as it took the first game from Medford 25-16. However, it slowly came apart after that as the Panthers lost the match 25-16, 21-25, 19-25, 22-25.

&8220;We started off a bit slow but got a few service aces and never looked back,&8221; NRHEG head coach Nicole Kuhns said. &8220;Game two we started to just fall apart, our communication dropped and

watched a lot of balls just hit the floor without any attempt.&8221;

The Panthers hit well when they had the chance but gave the Tigers too many free chances.

Alysa Braaten had eight kills, Paige Schlaak added five and and Cailin Timm recorded four. Brittany had four aces in the match had added 10 assists.
