The Macomb High varsity volleyball team played its home opener Wednesday evening, defeating Monmouth- Roseville 25-17, 25-13.
Macomb improved to 5-3 on the season, while Monmouth- Roseville dropped to 3-7.
“We’ve been working on cutting down our unforced errors,” said MHS coach Hillary Humes. “Especially back to back errors.”
“Set one we had five errors and in set two we had four, so it was good to see us play efficiently and take care of the ball against a scrappy Monmouth team,” she added.
“Our energy stayed high throughout, especially carrying over into set two whe we got out to a 9-1 lead,” Humes continued. “It was good to see them play consistently at a high level and not dip down in energy, even when we had the lead.”
