In the third game the tides turned, and the Chargers took control and took the game 25-16.  Game 4 was a hard-fought battle, but the White Hawks rose to the top and won the match 25-21. 

The outside hitters, eighth-graders Meaghan Kreiser and Bridget Budzius, led the White Hawks with 16 and 11 kills, respectively. The White Hawks also served tough, serving 93% with 7 aces. Sophomore Kendal Richie and senior Kennedy Schmidt made it tough for the Chargers to get a kill, adding 24 and 14 digs to the match.

Rockford came to town next. The White Hawks had some bright spots but lost to the Rockets in three sets. 

MWHS went on the road to Delano and Hutchinson next.  The Hawks battled both teams, but succumbed to both Wright County Conference opponents in three sets.

Hungry for another win, the team went on the road to Patrick Henry on Tuesday, September 28. A combination of tough serving and digging led the team to victory in three straight sets, 25-17, 25-19 and 25-18.
