Volleyball Season Ends at WIAA Tournament Opener

The Cumberland Volleyball season came to an end last week as the team dropped the WIAA tournament opener to Elk Mound in three sets, losing a tough 26-24 first set and then falling 25-21 and 25-14. “We played extremely hard and gave a great effort but came up just a little short,” said Head Coach Erin Miller.

Leading the Cumberland effort were Lily Murphy with 14 digs, Hailey Paulson with seven kills and 11 digs, Lauren McCreary with eight kills, and Andi Olson with three service aces.
