UP TO THE CHALLENGE - Noxon's Delaney Weltz goes for a block as Rachel Huenink of Plains attempts a kill shot. Devils won Saturday's match in five sets.

PLAINS – It could have went either way but, in the end it fell to the Lady Red Devils.

Coach Teri Wilkinson's Noxon Lady Red Devils withstood a mid-match swoon and came back to defeat coach Jesse Butcher's Plains Trotters 25-27, 25-15, 12-25, 25-23, 15-9 in District 10C volleyball action in Plains Saturday.

Senior Delaney Weltz led the Lady Devils at the net with a match-high 12 kills and a block, freshman setter Riley Richter directed Noxon's attack with 22 set assists, Kristina Brown, Kali Murray and Jenna Freeman popped off two service aces apiece, and Brown had 13 digs.

Miera Loberg floored nine kills, Rachel Huenink blocked seven shots, Dakota Butcher and Haley Josephson put up 10 set assists each and Emma Morgan hit 13 digs.

The Trotters lost blocker/hitter Kylee Altmiller to an ankle injury midway through the match. Her status for this week was not known at press time.

In other action last week, the Trotters lost 25-15, 20-25, 25-22, 25-21 to the Savage Heat in Hot Springs last Tuesday.

Huenink turned in a double-double in leading Plains in that match, slamming 10 kills and blocking 10 shots, Josephson hit 14 assists, Natalee Deschamps had three digs and Altmiller a service ace.
