CULVER ACADEMIES 4, Logansport 0

Logansport dropped to 3-4-1 with a loss at Culver Academies.

"We gave up a goal in the first 50 seconds. It was an obvious lack of preparation and not ready to start the game," Logan coach Mike Turner said.

The Berries gave up a goal in the 21st minute and another one with three minutes left in the first half to trail 3-0 at halftime.

"We played a better second half, manufactured some really good shots but gave up the fourth goal 21 minutes into the second half," Turner said. "We need to find some consistency and focus."

Logan hosts McCutcheon at 7 p.m. tonight for an NCC game.

Logan's JV defeated Culver Academies 2-0. Adrian Salazar and David Perez each had a goal. David Escobedo had an assist.

N. WHITE 4, CASTON 0

North White scored the first goal with 2.6 seconds left in the first half and added three more in the second half.

"It was a great match away," Caston coach Nars Sanchez said. "We played a solid first half. The game played well into both halves. We had some chances but weren't able to convert.

"Second half we played with effort, however we played into some trouble scenarios and North White was able to punish our mistakes for three more goals. The counter seems to be what we continue to struggle with. We need to be able to turn those transitions back to offense and against the opponent's run of play. Despite, we continue to improve, which is positive."

W. CENTRAL 3, WINAMAC 1

Winamac hosted county rival West Central in only its second home match of the season. The Warriors had a great turnout and gave the crowd their money's worth in an exciting four-set match.

The Warriors started out slow after a long weekend off, dropping set one 20-25. Set two started with the Warriors finally finding their groove and leading the match early on, but a string of unforced hitting errors and missed serves led to a 16-25 loss. If the Lady Warriors are anything, they're fighters because they came out in set three ready to take the match to five and came out on top with an exciting score of 26-24, including a comeback from being down 15-21. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on to the momentum and fell in set four 20-25.

Piper Link led with three kills, seven digs and an ace. Marissa Iverson added two blocks and two kills while Brooke Rausch had eight digs and four kills.
