Albany at New London-Spicer
7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 3

Last season’s All-Granite Ridge Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Year Erin Navratil returns to lead Albany. The junior outside hitter (326 kills, 210 digs) teams with senior libero Sidney Schiffler (279 digs) to pace the 2-2 Dragons. 

New London-Spicer (2-2) lost only three players from last year’s 25-6 team, and the Wildcats feature no underclassmen on their roster. They do have two Wright County all-conference selections in senior setter Espi Austvold (820 assists) and junior middle hitter Kabrie Weber (260 kills, 59 blocks). Both will be key to the Wildcats' success.
