Von Lehmden added her third tally with 33:07 left in the match and Kylee Warnecke — assisted by Rachel Grothause — gave the home team their fourth goal.

The Musketeers (1-2) were outshot by their guests 18-12. Miller City had eight corner kicks to five for the hosts. Mindy Merricle had seven saves for Jennings, Abby Lammers three for the visitors.

Bulldogs freeze Polar Bears
COLUMBUS GROVE — Columbus Grove’s volleyball team downed Hardin Northern 25-22, 25-16, 25-11 in non-conference action Thursday in Columbus Grove.

Errors are killing us right now and we are giving away easy points to our opponents. Once the early-season errors decrease, matches will definitely prove less stressful for players and coaches.”
Guiding the Lady Bulldogs (3-1) were Kristy Birkemeier (14/14 serving, 14 points, 2 aces; 2 solo blocks), Mackenzie Vorst (12/12 serving; 17/18 hitting, 12 kills), Courtney Diller (2 blocks, 2 solo; 4 digs; 9 kills), Morgan Kohls (13/14 hitting; 2 solo blocks) and Ali Kohls (43/43 setting, 19 assists).
