BR-H uses balanced effort to sweep Norway

HARRIS — The Bark River-Harris Broncos used a balanced effort to upend Norway 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-23) in a Skyline Central Conference volleyball contest here Tuesday.

The Broncos (6-1) rolled to wins with relative ease in the first two sets while using an 100 percent serve percentage in the first set before hanging on to win a close one to complete the sweep.

“Tonight, we covered the floor well,” BR-H coach Jen Ives said. “Selena Britton adjusted well as (the) libero and made some key digs. She also had an 100 percent serving average on 12 serves. Cara Zawacki also had an 100 percent serving average on 13 serves and Tressa Ives had a 95 percent serving average on 19 serves.

“We focus a lot on serving and serve receive in practice, and it just showed tonight that it’s hard to lose a game when you’re serving well.”

Makena Lockwood led BR-H with seven kills, six digs and two blocks while Kassidy Roll added six kills and two blocks on her birthday. Ives and Lexi Berg each had four kills while Alaska Peterson had 19 assists and Britton came up with seven digs.

“Kassidy Roll and Makena Lockwood covered the net well on both offense and defense and combined for 13 kills on the night,” coach Ives said.

“Again, Alaska Peterson stepped up as our sophomore setter and played some great volleyball, but we were also able to give our first-year setter Ally Richer some time as setter and she played great as well. Everyone had playing time tonight and it is always a good feeling as a coach when you know your bench is deep and anyone can step in to make plays!”

BR-H’s jayvee team fell for the first time this year, dropping a 2-1 decision to Norway. The Broncos visit Rapid River Thursday.
