Oct. 11—LEROY — Tuesday was a good day for Manton volleyball.

The Rangers picked up a Highland Conference win on the road against Pine River, knocking off the Bucks in straight sets 25-13, 25-15, 25-22. Manton improved to 32-4-4 overall and 6-1 in the Highland.

Manton head coach Nicole Helsel said it was nice to get the win, adding that Pine River hit the ball deep and made the Rangers work around the middle. Helsel hoped to see more out of her players, but she was happy to leave with a victory.

"Our team played smart and steady, but lacked energy and emotion," she said. "We have only a handful of dates left in the season, and I talk to the girls a lot about playing with more of a sense of urgency. I have not seen this urgent level of play out of them yet, and I hope they are able to find it and peak at the right time."

The Rangers can show that urgency Thursday when they host Evart.

Leading Manton on Tuesday were Abby Potter (4 digs), Adriana Sackett (5 kills, 25 digs), Ashley Bredahl (3 kills, 30 assists, 8 digs), Bridgette Collins (4 digs), Emma Ruppert (5 digs), Genevieve Alexander (1 dig, 1 assist), Lauren Wilder (18 kills, 1 ace, 15 digs), Leah Helsel (9 kills, 1 ace, 1 assist, 11 digs, 1 block), Madison Schnitker (1 assist, 1 dig), Makayla Gowell (1 dig), Morgan Shepler (5 kills, 12 digs) and Mattie Lafreniere (1 dig).
