The West Point-Beemer Volleyball Team is 0-3 so far this year, falling 2-0 to Battle Creek and Stanton at the Stanton Triangular on Thursday, and then losing 3-1 at home to Boone Central/Newman Grove Tuesday night.
The Cadets lost 25-14 in set one and 25-16 in set two to the Bravettes.
Sidney Swanson had 7 digs while Katie Rainforth notched 8 set assists.
The Mustangs downed West Point-Beemer 25-19 in set one, and 25-22 in set two.
Diana Cervantes posted 13 digs.
The Cadets one set one 25-18 over the Cardinals before BC/NG took set two 25-22, and sets three and four 25-17.
Swanson had 12 kills, 11 digs, and 12 set assists while Brooklyn Weddle registered 8 kills. Jadyn Meiergerd chipped in 11 digs while Rachel Groth had 8. Rainforth recorded 7 digs and 19 set assists.
Very slow start to the season for the Cadets. Hopefully West Point-Beemer is able to pick things up soon.
The Cadets (0-3) take on Wisner-Pilger (1-0) and others in the Northeast Nebraska Classic Thursday through Saturday.
The Gators swept Schuyler 3-0 at home Thursday night.
Definitely not the type of start to the season West Point-Beemer was hoping for or envisioning that's for sure.
It's early though, and the good news is the Cadets have lots of time to get things all squared away and figured out.
I thought West Point-Beemer had good stats against the Cardinals, but the Cadets were simply outmanned in that one it appears.
I thought the match against the Mustangs was respectable, but West Point-Beemer really struggled against the Bravettes.
I do think the Cadets improved from Thursday to Tuesday though as they did take the first set against Boone Central/Newman Grove.
For West Point-Beemer it's all about learning how to close matches and finding ways to win.
The Cadets need to work on responding to adversity, and overcoming tough set losses during matches.
Wisner-Pilger is no joke as they are the real deal so West Point-Beemer has to come ready to play and be ready to go Thursday night.
Things are off to a slow start for the Cadets, but I have no doubt they can right the ship and get things turned around.
West Point-Beemer has had nice seasons the past couple of years, and it's just simply taking time for everyone to adapt and find their way this year.
The Cadets have a new coach, system, and many new faces, and so early struggles aren't surprising given those three things.
West Point-Beemer has to continue to get better though and figure things out.
Those three things are excuses at the end of the day.
The Cadets have to be better than they have been, and I have full confidence that they will be as it's just simply a matter of time.
