Knights sweep Southeast

The North Platte Community College Knights volleyball team defended its home court Wednesday night by sweeping its opponent in three sets. 

NPCC took down the Southeast Community College Storm with scores of: 25-20, 25-15 and 25-22. 

The Storm lost some of its momentum in the second set but made it back up in the third. Most of the excitement came toward the end of the final set with NPCC ahead 24-19. 

Fans were on the edge of their seats as SCC inched its way up to 22 points. Morgan Ramsey, of Bartlett, scored the final kill. 

Ramsey and Kim Krise, of Briggsdale, Colo., both had 13 kills in the match. Payton Hoatson, of Sutherland, added six more kills while teammate Allie Schneider, of Humphrey, notched 33 assists. Katy Bartell contributed 14 digs.

"We knew that we needed to work hard to win in three," said NPCC Head Volleyball Coach Alexa McCall. "Against a Region team, every set counts, so I was happy to see us get the job done in three. I thought our outsides played really well, and Allie did a nice job of distributing the ball." 

The Knights are now 10-7 on the season. 

They will hit the road this weekend for a tournament in Dodge City, Kan. The Knights play Dodge City Community College at 1 p.m. Saturday followed by Trinidad State College at 3 p.m.
