The #6 (2A) Dike-New Hartford volleyball team was tested early but widened its margin in each set in a 3-1 win at Hudson in NICL-Central action Tuesday. In a backdoor sweep, the Wolverines won 23-25, 25-17, 25-12, 25-11.
In the first set, the Pirates maintained control and won when the Wolverines were called for a net violation. In the second set, Shannon Moorman finished it with a kill from the middle, and the Wolverines got back into a rhythm. In set 3, Hudson was as close as 12-9, but a five-point run helped seal the win and give DNH a 2-1 advantage. In set 4, DNH scored nine of the first 10 points on their way to the biggest win of the night.
Dike-New Hartford (12-9, 3-0 NICL-C) will return to action Saturday at a tournament at #1 (3A) Mount Vernon.
