The second of three straight road matches for the Pierre Governors didn’t go as planned for Pierre as the Govs would fall to the Mitchell Kernels on Thursday in a sweep with a 25-13, 25-11 and 25-16 loss.
The Kernels jumped out to big leads in the first two sets as the Govs didn’t have an answer for Nia Talley who finished tied for the game high in kills and also had nine aces on the evening including six in set two, all in the same streak. Pierre’s only leads came in the third set, but Mitchell didn’t let the Govs have more than a three point lead at any point in the third. Charleigh Collins tied Tally with the nine kills as Mitchell outhit Pierre 30-11 in the match as the Govs had 23 hitting errors to the 11 kills. Ellie Olivier would lead the Govs with three kills while Hannah Eads and Faith Baumberger each had two. Addison Novotny had two block shot points for Pierre who are now 1-9 on the season while Mitchell improves to 5-8.
The Governors will travel to face its lone Class A opponent, Lennox on Tuesday. First serve is at 6:30 from Lennox High School.
