NBC reels off three conf. wins

Defensive specialist Chelsea Going bumps the ball in a recent match.

North Bend strung together three straight East Husker Conference wins in the span of a week to move them into a three-way tie for second place in the conference. Sandwiched between straight-set sweeps of Scribner-Snyder and Lyons-Decatur was a five-set nail biter with Tekamah-Herman that saw NBC battle back from a 2-sets-to-1 deficit. The largest victory margin for either team in the match was four points, as the black and orange took a hotly contested 25-21, 23-25, 22-25, 26-24, 15-11 win.

During the three-game stretch, coach Amy Sterup saw a very balanced attack sparked by her middle hitters elevating their play. Middle hitter Sam Kreikemeier led NBC with 33 kills during the three-game streak, and has had two games of hitting better than .500 in the past four games.

Twin River tops NBC

North Bend dropped a hard-fought match to Twin River, Tuesday, Sept. 30. Two of the three sets went down to the wire and the other was competitive as well, but the visiting Titans earned a 25-23, 25-19, 25-23 win. Samantha Renter and Kelly Baumert led NBC with nine kills each.

Gators deal NBC ECH loss

West-Point Beemer alone in frist place
Sept. 16- For the second time this season, Wisner-Pilger got the best of North Bend. The Gators' 25-12, 20-25, 25-16, 25-9 victory gives NBC its firs conference loss in the season. Kelly Baumert had 14 kills to lead North Bend, while Sam Renter returned to action after missing two matches with eight kills and two blocks. In other East Husker Conference games Tuesday: Logan View def. Pender 22-25, 25-23, 23-25, 25-16, 15-8; Lyons-Decatur def. Oakland-Craig 26-24, 25-15, 17-25, 16-25, 15-11; and West Point-Beemer def. Tekamah-Herman 25-15, 25-12, 25-19. Those results mean that with most teams just two games into their conference schedules, West Point-Beemer has already taken the drivers' seat as the only team undefeated in EHC play. The Cadets are 3-0 now, with wins over Lyons-Decatur, Wisner-Pilger and West Point.
