In this file photo from the NR-S Dial, the Rockets' starting six huddles during a match played on Oct. 5.
The New Rockford-Sheyenne (NR-S) girls volleyball team entered the Super Region 4 Tournament in Devils Lake as the #3 seed. In quarterfinal round action, they volleyed against Benson County in the nightcap on Monday, Nov. 5. The Rockets quickly swept the Wildcats in three straight sets with scores of 25-20, 25-17 and 25-19.
With the win, NR-S earned a spot in the semifinals on Tuesday, Nov. 6, where they took on the #2 seed North Star Bearcats.
The Rockets really battled, but the experienced Bearcats pulled away during each set to defeat the Rockets three sets to zero. The set scores were 25-13, 25-16 and 25-11. Net violations and unforced errors for the Rockets made a big difference in the contest.
The Rockets played in the third place game against Rolla after press time on Thursday. Read the highlights and stats from that game in the next issue.
