Cougars split games in season-opening triangular

BY JORDYN HULINSKY

The Lady Cougars of Sandy Creek went 1-1 in the first triangular of the season, hosted at Sandy Creek with Wilber- Clatonia and Heartland.

Sandy Creek defeated Wilber-Clatonia in two sets, 25-16 and 25-15, but then fell to Heartland in two, 25-14 and 28-26.

“That first game the girls stated they were ‘nervous,’” Head Coach Josey VonSpreckelsen said. “It was our first game of the season and we had to get all of our jitters out. The difference between the first game and the second game was intensity. We played somewhat slower in our first game and became more confident and sped up our offense in the second game. The teams we played did very different things so we made adjustments throughout each set and got better each point.”
