The college volleyball season has started for the lady Scotties of Highland Community College as they played host to the Thunderbirds of Cloud County last night. With a roster that features six Kanzaland area athletes of the 13 members on the team, the Scotties notched a five set victory to start the season.

Highland and Cloud County traded points and sets back and forth early, as Cloud took the first set 25-14, but Highland responded with a 25-20 win in set number two. With the sets tied the Thunderbirds came out on top in the third set 25-18 and put themselves one set away form the win. Highland definitely want to go away quietly and took set four 25-20 to force an five and final set.

In the fifth set it was a tight game but ultimately the Scotties pulled out the win 15-9 to start the season off with the win. Highland is now 1-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference play.
