BABBITT— It was homecoming and parents’ night here on Tuesday and the Nighthawks delivered for the fans with a straight set victory over Littlefork-Big Falls. The ‘Hawks won 25-19, 26-24, and 25-19.
“It felt so good and the team was excited to win at home,” said Head Coach Misty Roseth. “We dedicated our dig pink match to a young 40 year-old friend and co-worker of mine with terminal breast cancer, Crystal Latvaaho. The team played for her and it was super special.”
Allison Flug, the team’s lone senior, had a strong performance in the final home game of her volleyball career, posting six kills, 11 digs, and three ace blocks. “She had an amazing last season game…I’m so proud of her,” said Roseth.
Else Bee led in kills for the ‘Hawks, with nine along with eight digs. Setter Maizy Sundblad added 17 assists, six kills and six ace serves, while Danica Sundblad added 13 digs.
Proceeds from the night’s contest will go to Latvaaho to help in her fight against cancer.
The Nighthawks are set to start the playoffs on Monday, most likely on the road. Their opponent had not yet been announced as of the Timberjay’s presstime.
