ST. NICHOLAS — Carney-Nadeau used solid play in three sets here Thursday to upend the Mid Peninsula volleyball team 3-1.

“We were just solid defensively,” said C-N coach Steve Kedsch. “We were attacking the ball and that kept them off-balance. We had a lot of long volleys tonight.”

Taylor Kedsch helped get the Wolves going with a seven-point service run in the opening set that tied the score at 8-8 and kick-started the visitors.

“Our scores didn’t reflect how much we hustled tonight,” said Mid Pen coach Emily Kayser. “We hustled all over the court.”

Carney-Nadeau won the opener 25-15, then rebounded from a tight 25-23 loss to beat the Wolverines 25-10, 25-16.

“THe second set our offense was flowing really well and our communication was a key during that set,” said Kayser.

“Our biggest mistake was we had way to many ball-handling errors. The season is still young and we have a lot to improve on. We have a lot of room to learn and grow.”

Kedsch was impressed with his hosts. “Give Mid Pen a lot of credit. Thjey were covering the court real well. They made some amazing defensive plays to keep the ball in play,” he said.

C-N’s jayvees won 25-10, 25-11.

Carney-Nadeau visits Stepenson Tuesday while Mid Pen resumes action Thursday at Rapid River.
