The Blue Devil volleyball team hit a speed bump this weekend as it won just one of four matches in the Rochester Invite.
Riverland (6-4 overall) lost to Rochester 10-25, 19-25; beat Gogebic 25-17, 25-17; lost to Madison East Tech 22-25, 26-28, and was eliminated by Hibbing Community College 19-25, 23-25.
The Blue Devils had led Madison East 8-1 early in the second game but fell short.
“The tone of the day is we were flat and tired,” Riverland head coach Helen Jahr said. “We weren’t hitting very well.”
Brooke Monson had 21 kills for Riverland, Katie Krogh had 16 kills and 41 digs, Krissy Schemmel had 35 assists and eight aces, Ashley Lau had 41 digs, Tiffany Preuss had 22 assists, and Ashleigh Smith had six aces.
