Oakley hadn't done well against Goodland over the past eight seasons (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Plainsmen came out on top against the Cowboys by a score of 2-0. The victory is more of the same for the Plainsmen, who have now won five matches in a row.

Oakley not only won, but also showed off some consistency: they kept Goodland between 16 and 18 points across their sets. The final set scores came out to 25-18, 25-16.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Oakley to victory, but perhaps none more so than Alexa Weiser, who had 14 kills and eight digs. Another player making a difference was Breckyn Selensky, who had eight digs and three aces.

Goodland's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Hayden Short, who had 12 assists and five digs, and Avery Weibel, who had 11 kills and eight digs.
