RIPON — The Knights methodically took care of business Thursday against visiting Delhi.The Ripon Christian High varsity volleyball squad not only led from start to finish in all three games of the Southern League match, but did so with the reserves getting into the act.“They came in and raised the level of play,” said Knights coach Tiger Shelton, who played his entire bench.He added, “They deserved to play – they work just as hard in practice.”Led by Morgan Alger, Andie Shelton, Kaylie Colyn, and Brittany Petlansky, RC regulars did most of the damage early on.The Knights, as a result, won rather handily, 25-7, 25-4, 25-6.Alger had six of her game-high nine kills in the opening game. Shelton had five service aces to go along with her 20 assists. Colyn came through with six digs and Petlansky finished with seven kills and three aces.Petlansky delivered on eight straight points in that opening game, stymieing Delhi (1-3) with her variety of knuckleball-type serves.
