N-P volleyball closes out regular season going 2-1 at North Butler quad

Chris Baldus

GREENE — North Butler’s Bearcats we’re a point away from defeat when Olivia Dralle pushed the ball back over the net. It spun off the finger tips of a Nashua-Plainfield player going for a block and floated past the back line. The Bearcats got the serve back and got to work erasing the Huskies’ 24-21 lead. But, as North Butler looked to take a 25-24 lead N-P’s Bailey Fisher launched toward Paige Ripley’s set, and tapped the ball. The soft arch evaded the blockers. A Bearcat dig went awry. Fisher’s ensuing serve closed out the set, giving the Huskies their … Continue reading N-P volleyball closes out regular season going 2-1 at North Butler quad
