The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows volleyball team will look to begin a three match homestand with a solid conference win as they host conference front-runner Humboldt on Tuesday. This will be the Cowgirls last match before a nine day break from competition.
CGD (5-20, 1-3 NCC) in recent action went 0-5 at Boone tournament on Saturday. The Cowgirls last conference match was a thrilling 3-2 win over Clear Lake on Thursday. Senior Elliot Ennis with 144 kills (tied for 3rd in NCC) and 57 blocks (leads NCC) and Senior Indy Johnson with 314 digs (leads NCC) have been difference makers for the Cowgirls.
CGD Head Coach Jessica Nail on playing to full potential.
“Humboldt‘s a great team, they always have been. I’m glad we get them at home, we just gotta go out and play to our full potential. There’s no point in playing timid for that one,” says Nail. “Right now, they’re a strong team, so we just have to go out and do everything we can on our side. Continue to play together, make smart choices at the net. We’re not always getting great passes, so our hitters just have to learn to just play smart and adjust to what they’re given. They’re a great team, so we might as well just go out and play hard and see what happens.”
Humboldt (14-8, 4-0 NCC) went 3-2 at Spencer tournament on Saturday. The Wildcats will play their first conference match since September 19th which was a 3-0 win over Iowa Falls-Alden. Mia Schulter sets the tone for Wildcats attack with a conference best 167 kills.
The Wildcats won last year’s meeting 3-1 at home.
First Serve is at 7:00 p.m.
