Mainstreeters volleyball sweeps rival New London-Spicer - Girls' tennis wins big at Minnewaska

The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters volleyball team won in three tonight against visiting New London-Spicer to improve to 3-0 in the West Central Conference and 8-0 overall.

They will now gear up for a huge 16-team tournament hosted at Sauk Rapids-Rice high school. Teams included are defending Class AA champion Wadena-Deer Creek, Holdingford, Mora, Annandale, Rogers, Elk River, Dassel-Cokato,
Melrose Area, St. Cloud Cathedral, Albany, St. Cloud Apollo, Little Falls, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle, Sauk Rapids-Rice and Kimball Area.

Action begins at 9 a.m.

In a West Central North match at Minnewaska Area, the Mainstreeters girls' tennis team won 6-1 over the Lakers to improve to 2-1 in the conference. Next Monday, the Mainstreeters (10-4) travel to Melrose Area for what is probably the conference dual meet championship. The following day the girls' tennis team hosts New London-Spicer. If Melrose beats Sauk Centre on Monday, they will essentially clinch the WCCN title for 2011. If the Mainstreeters can pull off the win, they probably will end up as co-champions of the WCCN with the Dutchmen. The match on Monday is HUGE!

At the Little Crow Golf Course, both of the Mainstreeters cross country teams took fifth place out of seven complete teams in each division.

Streeter volleyball sweeps Melrose Area - Swimming and Diving defeats Cathedral

Sauk Centre's volleyball team won game one 30-28! Then they defeated the Dutchmen 25-14 and 25-10 to earn a sweep and improve to 2-0 in the West Central North Conference. The Mainstreeters (7-0 overall) will host New London-Spicer this week Thursday in another conference match. This is a change from the regular season schedule.

After hanging on for the 30-28 win in game one, the Mainstreeters clawed back and forth with the Dutchmen past a 9-9 tie, ultimately going up 22-13 before taking a 25-14 win. Game three was all Mainstreeters, as they jumped out to a commanding 17-6 lead and never looked back. Macy Weller and fellow junior Brianna VonWahlde both earned kills for the Mainstreeters' final two points of the match in a 25-10 game three win.

Sauk Centre improved to 7-0 overall, while Melrose fell to 3-1.

After defeating the I-94 rival Dutchmen, Coach Klaphake praised his team's performance in beating a tough conference opponent. He cited the new feature on this year's team, the use of a jump serve by multiple players, as one reason for the early success they've had.

Action from game two tonight in Sauk Centre...



The Mainstreeters swimming and Diving team gave a great performance at a home dual meet against St. Cloud Cathedral/St. John's Prep while earning a 104-79 win to remain undefeated in dual or triangular competition at 4-0. **Video and photos from the meet will be added Wednesday morning.

Down in Albany, the visiting Minnewaska Lakers won game three to make it a 2-1 volleyball match against the Huskies. Game four is underway.
