Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
The Nashua/Opheim Lady Rivals have been putting in the hard work and sweat on the volleyball court over the past two weeks. The girls traveled to Froid, Mont., to participate in the Froid/Medicine Lake Volleyball tournament on Sept. 14.
Throughout the day-long tournament, the girls played eight sets in four games, winning the third game of the tournament against Froid-Lake JV in two sets, 15-13, 15-11. Devin Fromdahl and Hadynn Adkins assisted the team with two kills each, of the team’s six, and Mandy Fuhrmann assisted the team with three digs of the team’s four. Tia Dees achieved three assists of the team’s five, which helped set up attacks for the kill.
The win was a boost to the motivation and momentum for the Lady Rivals, which was built after losing the first two games of the tournament. The first game, played against Terry, saw the Rivals lose in two matches, 15-5, 15-12. However, the girls didn’t let that stop them as the second game saw a closer score against Richey-Lambert, 15-12, 15-11. In both games, Fromdahl assisted the team in kills, achieving three in the sets against Terry and two in the sets against Richey-Lambert. Kaitlyn Miller assisted the team in blocks, achieving two in the sets against Terry and one in the sets against Richey-Lambert.
The fourth game of the tournament against Mon-Dak was no match for the Rivals, losing in two sets, 15-5, 15-9. The team was able to achieve seven kills, led by Dees with three. The team also achieved six assists, led by Fromdahl and Adkins with two each.
After coming home from the tournament, the Lady Rivals put in the sweat, hard work, endurance and time to continue to build their skills. On Sept. 19, the Lady Rivals traveled to Grenora, N.D., to again play Mon-Dak. This time however, the Lady Rivals learned from the previous matches and played closer sets, however still lost in three, 25-14, 25-6, 25-12. Dees, Fromdahl, Adkins and Carly Tihista achieved one kill each with Dees leading the team achieving four of the team’s seven kills.
