BISMARCK — Despite taking the first set, the Minot High volleyball team couldn’t find a way to close out Bismarck Century Tuesday, falling 3-1 in Bismarck.

Set scores were 16-25, 25-14, 25-11, 25-21.

“We played really well the first and fourth sets of the match,” MHS coach Sherry Carlson said. “They jumped all over us in set two and it took a bit to find our bearings again. It was nice to see us come back and fight in the fourth.”
