Sterling, Colo. – The North Platte Community College Lady Knights volleyball team lost their season opener three sets to one to the Northeastern Junior College Plainswomen on Wednesday.

Shelby Wolever, from Brush, Colo., led the Lady Knights with nine set assists, and freshman Madi Gilg, from Gothenburg, added eight.

“It was a good start for us against a good team and I’m excited to see how we respond this weekend,” McCall said.

The Lady Knights open their home portion of the schedule when they host the Subway Classic on Aug. 26-27.

NPCC falls to 0-1 on the season.
