Nighthawks Fall 3-0 in Match Up Against Central Washington

ELLENSBURG, Wash. – The NNU volleyball team made the trip to Ellensburg, Washington this weekend to compete against the Central Washington Wildcats on Saturday the 27th. In a close three set game the Nighthawks fell to Wildcats: 21-25, 20-25, 24-26.

The Nighthawks built an early lead in set one, highlighted by an Abby Black kill that put NNU up 8-5. The Wildcats answered, tying the score at 10-10 before stretching the lead to 20-11 behind three blocks and four kills. The Nighthawks fought back, fueled by two kills from Lily Kinloch, but CWU closed out the set 25-21.

Set two was a back-and-forth battle, with neither team pulling ahead by more than three points. The score was tied at 9-9 and remained tight until the final stretch, when the Wildcats sealed the set with two kills and a block to earn the 25-20 win.

Looking to respond in the third set, the Nighthawks came out strong, taking an 8-3 lead with seven of those points coming from kills—three of them by Abby Black. The Wildcats clawed back to stay within reach and eventually took their first lead at 21-20. A service ace by Kayci Spray briefly put NNU back on top, but CWU rallied once more to secure the 26-24 victory and the sweep.

Abby Black led the Nighthawks with 15 kills and Kayci Spray had 16 digs leading the NNU defense.
