After opening the season with matches against top-ranked opponents, the Cloquet Lumberjacks hit the road to take on Duluth Central in volleyball on Thursday night. The result saw the Jacks come away with a 3-1 victory and a renewed confidence that they have the potential to become a much better team by the end of the season.

The Jacks opened quickly and stunned the Trojans 25-14 and 25-15 in the first two games. Central rebounded with a 25-20 win in game three, but the Jacks busted loose in game four and won, going away 25-8.

Both Katie Schulz and Maddie Kiehn pounded down 10 kills for the Jacks. Alex Oakes and Keanna Karulak finished with 13 and 12 assists respectively for Cloquet, while Kierra Johnson added 14 digs and Katie Konietzko had a pair of blocks.

Gloria Ohaju led the Trojans with six kills and 12 blocks.

The Lumberjacks will be back in action when they kick off early Saturday, competing in the Coon Rapids Invitational at 9:00am.
