Eagle RMAC win streak ends on the road

By Kennie Gable

The CSC volleyball team’s five game RMAC winning streak came soaring down after being swept in both road matches against New Mexico Highlands and Adams State last weekend.

The team traveled to Las Vegas, New Mexico, to take on the Cowgirls of Highlands on Friday. 

The game did not go the Eagles’ way, evident after taking a three-set loss. With the scores of 25-16, 25-19, 25-23, the team could not get a footing in the match and Cowgirls took the win. 

The Eagles finished the game with 22 errors in the match. Along with 27 kills, four blocks, and six aces in the three sets. 

Rylee Greiman, junior, from Windsor, Colorado, found herself a stat leader in almost every measurable category. She was the third in kills with four. She was also on the leaderboard for assists, blocks, and aces. Rylee has 64 kills on the year so far, along with 165 digs.

The team continued the weekend with a matchup in Alamosa, Colorado, on Saturday. The Eagles, coming off a hard loss, had their work cut out for them against Adams State, a team who had previously beat them earlier in the season.

The game was tight throughout but did not go Chadron’s way. The three-set scores were 25-18, 29-27, and 25-21 securing the win for the Grizzles.

Overall, the team had 38 kills, five blocks, 36 assists, three aces, and 52 digs, along with 15 errors in the match spread evenly among each set.

Amber Harvey, sophomore of Centennial, Colorado, led the Eagles with 11 kills and two blocks.

Two freshmen found themselves on the leaderboard as well. 

Kiley West, freshman of Colorado Springs, Colorado, had 17 assists along with one ace. 

Kiera Alfred, freshman of Phoenix, Arizona, led the team in digs with 20.

The Chadron State Volleyball team finds themselves 7-10 on the season overall and 5-3 in the RMAC. 

The Eagles continues their season, Friday at home in the Chicoine Center at 6 p.m. against the top-ranked MSU Denver Roadrunners.
