Chatfield volleyball’s week included a five-set win over Cotter/Hope Lutheran, a win over Wabasha-Kellogg, and then the Twin Cities Challenge. Along the way, their best player recorded a massive career milestone. Hosting the Ramblers, senior outside hitter, one-time libero, Cora Bicknese surpassed the lofty mark of 2,000 career digs. The five-year starter and integral part of two Chatfield state placing teams has accumulated at least 350 digs in all five years of her varsity career. Kristi Rindels’ group topped Cotter/HL in five sets, 25-14, 21-25, 25-21, 19-25, and 15-13. Bicknese led the way with 23 kills, 29 digs, and 2 aces on 15 of 16 serving. She is also closing in on 1,000 career kills. Current libero Zaylee Boyum added 24 digs. Brynn Tweten (19 assists, 8 digs), Sophia Goldsmith (10 kills), Adelia Goldsmith (21 assists, 14 digs), Maizee Priebe (7 digs), Addison Johnsrud (7 kills, 18-18 serving, 4 total blocks), Makynli Ostby (6 kills), and Ali Eickhoff (4 kills) helped. The Gophers then took down W-K 3-0 (25-20, 25-11, 25-16) behind Bicknese (11 kills, 14 digs, 20-21 serving, 3 aces). Replacement libero Andie Ruskell had 22 digs. S-Goldsmith (10 kills), A-Goldsmith (15 assists), Eickhoff (9 kills), Tweten (14 assists, 5 digs), Ashlyn Schaitel (4 kills), Maizee Priebe (16-17 serving, 4 aces), and Ostby (5 digs) helped.
