It was a battle for the ages between Alden-Conger and NRHEG in volleyball Tuesday night.

The match went five sets and 231 points were scored. It ended with Alden-Conger pulling out a 15-11 win in the fifth set to end the madness.

“We battled with a tough (Alden-Conger) team tonight,” said NRHEG coach Onika Peterson. “At times, they had us on our heels, they had us scrambling. Because we were scrambling, it was difficult for us to set up our offense.”

NRHEG battled from a 2-1 set deficit with a 29-27 win in set four.

Rachel Collins dished out 50 assists for the Panthers. Marnie Wagner finished with 31 digs and 18 kills.
