Norse fall to I/G, A/P

The Whitehall volleyball team was close to one win, but ended up losing a pair of matches to Dairyland Conference co-op programs. 

Whitehall actually scored more total points than Independence/Gilmanton last week Tuesday, but the Indees won three close sets for a 3-2 match win (see story elsewhere in Sports). The Norse were home again on Friday and got off to a strong start, winning the first set against Alma/Pepin, but then dropped three straight. 

The losses dropped Whitehall to 6-8 on the season before Tuesday’s game at Melrose-Mindoro. The team hosts Alma Center Lincoln on Thursday then heads to Cochrane-Fountain City next Tuesday. 

A/P    21 25 25 25

WHS  25 13 22 20

After winning the first set, the Norse struggled to score points. 

Harlow Foss had a team-high 13 kills and three aces for Whitehall. Kyla Lambeck led the team with 24 set assists and Avvia Herman had 17 digs. Aryana Ausderau and Bria Pank both had two blocks.
