Algona Sweeps Bishop Garrigan in Volleyball

The Algona Bulldog Volleyball team improved to 5-1 in North Central Conference play by knocking off Bishop Garrigan last night 3 games to none: 25-8, 25-8, and 25-14. Britany Thilges was 16 of 16 serving with 2 aces for the Bulldogs while teammate Rachel Nelson had 8 kills and three Blocks. Natalie Hackbarth was 12 for 12 from the service line. Algona is now 21-6 overall.

The Golden Bears had a hard time getting a rhythm going as they fell 3-4 in NCC play and 9-13 overall on the season. After the service game was improving over the past few weeks, the Golden Bears struggled committing numerous service errors. Hopefully this was just a hiccup for a Golden Bear team that was getting stronger each week of the season.

Bishop Garrigan gets a visit from Hampton-Dumont on Thursday for the next match. Algona travels to St. Ed’s Thursday for a match that you can here on Hometown radio with a 7:20 broadcast time. Our final regular season broadcast of volleyball for 2007 will be Thursday October 11th when Bishop Garrigan hosts Clear Lake for Parents Night.

A surprising sweep for Algona, initially one would have expected
a more difficult time for the
Bulldogs. None the less a lot of
energy in the Algona gym from
both sides of the fence. The game will be replayed soon on the T-V
side of things on AHS tv channell
3 of Mediacom and channell 4 of
AMU.
