BABBITT— An off-night for the Nighthawks translated into a straight set loss to Cook County here on Tuesday, 25-17, 25-14, and 25-17. “We’re working hard to find our consistency and certain nights look a little different than others,” said Head Coach Misty Roseth. “They have this undeniable potential, but tonight we couldn’t find that perfect groove,” Roseth added. “We had an off night and our errors just outweighed the successes.  It will happen and we will take this and learn and grow for the next match.”
Allison Flug and Else Bee combined for a dozen kills in the match, while Bee added six digs. Danica Sundblad added 11 digs and went five-for-five from the serving line. Peyson Roseth added six digs and was perfect from the serving line as well, while Ezra Chamberlain notched two kills, six digs, and went 11-for-11 serving. Keydence Hancock tallied four digs and two kills.
Playing at home last Thursday, the Nighthawks were on fire as they beat Cherry in four sets, 25-22, 14-25, 27-25, and 25-22. Flug led the way for Northeast Range, tallying 14 kills and 13 digs. Danica Sundblad was a powerhouse in the backcourt, posting 23 digs and going 14-for-14 from the serving line.
Maizy Sundblad posted 45 set assists, five kills and nine digs, while Hancock notched five digs and a kill and Roseth tallied four kills.
The Nighthawks will take part in the Rock Ridge tournament on Saturday and they’ll be on the road next Thursday, at North Woods.
