The H-BC Patriots, the No. 10 seed in 3A south subsection play, ended their season Monday night in Slayton with a 25-13, 25-6, 25-12 loss to No. 7 seed Murray County Central.
The Patriots, 1-19 during the season, and MCC, 8-14, had also met on Sept. 29, when MCC won in three sets.
MCC started the match Monday night with a 7-0 lead before Brynn Rauk tallied a couple of points off a push to an open spot followed by a tip to an open spot to make the score 10-2. Lanae Elbers’ set from the back row set up Layla Deelstra for a kill, 13-6. Deelstra and Elbers then joined up in the front row to score off a double block 14-7. Deelstra had a back row setup to Taylor Huisman for a kill 17-11. MCC finished the first set 25-13.
The second set was mainly all MCC. Huisman scored a point off a tip over two blockers. Elbers and Deelstra joined up again for a double block but MCC ran away with the set, 25-6.
Ellama Sammons scored a point off a tip in the third set after a strong start by MCC 7-3. A pass from Olivia Bork to Rauk to set up Elbers for a kill added a point for H-BC, 12-6. Deelstra passed to Rauk to set up Larrisa Steinhoff for a kill, 19-9. An ace serve by Bork was H-BC’s final point before the set ended 25-12. 
Senior Elly Klosterbuer had several saves in the back row and showed lots of hustle for H-BC.
