A 3-3 record in their own Humboldt Invitational last Saturday (Aug. 27) wasn’t what Humboldt volleyball coach Kara Waldorf had in mind.
That said, Waldorf is using it as a learning tool going forward.
The Wildcats defeated Grand View Christian (21-13, 21-13), Fort Dodge (21-8, 21-15) and Spirit Lake Park (24-22, 21-15). Humboldt fell to South Central Calhoun (19-21, 17-21), Carroll Kuemper (21-14, 19-21, 12-15) and tournament champ South Hardin (16-21, 19-23).
South Hardin went 6-0 to claim the title with South Central Calhoun and Carroll Kuemper both went 4-2. After Humboldt at 3-3, it was Grand View Christian 2-4), Spirit Lake Park (1-5) and Fort Dodge (0-6).
“It was a rough day. We dropped a couple of matches that we should have won. We struggled all the way around with both passing and offense,” Waldorf said.
