Hawks Spike Skippers In Three Games

WARWICK – The undefeated Bishiop Hendricken Hawks took it to the Skippers on Tuesday night at Hendricken, soaring away with a 3-0 win.

The first game saw Hendricken jump out to an early 12-4 lead.  NK came back on the strength of some impressive digs and a few powerful spikes, most notably from #3 junior Brent Bauerle. It wasn't enough for the Skippers as the Hawks took game one 25-15.

Game two was more of the same. The Skippers had a little momentum going, but Hendricken's #20 co-captain Ted Seufert practically destroyed the ball on a spike that slammed off the gym floor and ascended all the way up to the rafters. It all but deflated the Skippers chances in the second game and Hendricken won game two 25-17.

The third game started off with momentum in NK's favor. They jumped out to a 5-1 lead and were fired up.  Hendricken clamped down and rattled off 5 unanswered points to go back up 6-5.  The third set proved to be a battle to the end as the two teams remained tied at 15, until a powerful spike from NK Senior, #10 Mike Tisser broke the tie and electrified his team and the visiting fans.  

The game stayed tight, tied at 20.  Hendricken fired off 5 straight points to win the game and the match three games to none.

Hendricken remains undefeated in Division I at 5-0 overall.

North Kingstown fell to 2-3 overall and stand at sixth place in their Division. They will next play on Friday, when they host Chariho. Start time for the match is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
