JAMESTOWN, ND – After a record setting night the Hastings College volleyball team took on a tough Jamestown squad and fell in straight sets 20-25, 12-25, 21-25 on Saturday afternoon.
Midway through set one the Lady Broncos were playing tough building a slim 10-8 lead behind a kill from Grace Branson and then a set error from Paige Oswald but the Jimmies came right back with a 6-2 run and then pulled away late in the set to win it 25-20.
Set two as all Jamestown as they took the commanding 2-0 lead in the match.
Hastings battled tough in the third set getting a service ace from Hallee Sherman and then a kill from Madison Glenn as HC trailed just 20-19 in set three. But another quick 3-0 run from Jamestown knocked the wind out of Hastings’ sails and the Jimmies came away with the victory.
Jamestown hit .282 while holding Hastings to just .099.
