Plenty Coups couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Reed Point/Rapelje Renegades on Friday.

Plenty Coups started the match hot and won the first set, but they struggled down the stretch and lost the last three. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 19-25, 25-9, 25-10, 25-21.
Violet Herzog went supernova for Reed Point/Rapelje, getting nine aces, seven kills, and seven digs. The dominant performance gave Herzog a new career-high in aces. The team also got some help courtesy of Kami Herzog, who had six kills, three aces, and two blocks.

After both having extra time off, Reed Point/Rapelje and Roberts will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
