Royals Struggle During Busy Week

The Royals volleyball had another busy week last week. They traveled to Montana for conferences matches between Dawson Community College and Miles Community College, before heading to Thief River Falls for a triangular against Central Lake College and Northland Community College. They finished the week going 1-3.

Head Coach Steve Waddell said this about the team, "We are struggling to finish sets at this point, and we are fighting from behind in a lot of our sets. We have moments of greatness, but we just haven't been able to find the right combination. We also had some big injuries which have forced a lot of line up changes. In our last 4 matches, we had a different line up for each match. We have been making strides, and we continue to improve, but we are still waiting to make it click on all cylinders. Individually, these players have been working very hard, and there has been a lot of improvement on the individual level."
