Wildcats advance in Region tournament

Kacie Reardon and Taylor Hart each had 10 kills to lead the North Dakota State College of Science Wildcats to a 3-1 win over Bismarck State College in the opening round of the Region 13 tournament Thursday in Bismarck.

"After being beaten twice by them in the regular season, we were hungry for a win," Wildcats Head Coach Jane Passa said. "We came out strong and our evenly dispersed setting led to a great win."

The Wildcats took the opening set 25-20, but Bismarck won the second set 25-20 to even the match at one game apiece.

But NDSCS won close matches in the third and fourth sets, 25-22, 25-22, and advanced to the next round of the tournament.

The Wildcats (21-7) face Williston State College Friday at 1 p.m.
