The Osmond Lady Tigers took Niobrara-Verdigre and Creighton by storm in a volleyball triangular on Tuesday, August 29, 2023! They defeated Niobrara-Verdigre first, winning the first and third sets. Erica Heiman led the team with five total blocks, three of which were solo and 12 kills! The team did not stop there; Callie Hoffman had six aces, and Erin Wagner had 25 assists! Anna Kahny and Sophie Gansebom held the defense with 12 and 9 digs, respectively. The Tiger's determination carried through as they battled the Creighton Bulldogs right after their first victory and beat them in a nail-biting two sets. Coach Christy Koehler said, “We had a successful night because we kept the intensity in each set. There were moments when we got down, but instead of staying in the hole, they worked together to get themselves out of it. Their mental game is improving, and they are learning to trust each other and trust their own skills. They are a fun group to watch!” The Tigers continue to work hard and are getting ready for their next match. Come and cheer on the Lady Tigers when they battle Bloomfield on Tuesday, September 5th!
