PIERRE – Governor Volleyball lost for the first time this season in four matches Saturday, falling in four sets at the Riggs High gym to Aberdeen Central, 25-19, 21-25, 25-12, 25-11.
Brooklyn Kusler led Aberdeen Central (5-0) with 14 kills and Shaleah Borge added 13. Avyrie Kaiser led Pierre (3-1) with 13 kills.
Governor head coach Kacy Kienholz said that the Governors had too many offensive errors.
Kienholz said that the combination of the match being the home opener and Senior Day combined for some pressure.
Kienholz said that the players who hadn’t played on varsity before had a bit of a rough start, but should eventually be fine.
Kienholz said that the Governors must stay positive.
Kienholz felt that Aberdeen Central provided no surprises.
Pierre will host Yankton on Friday night, with coverage beginning at 6:30 on 1060 AM/107.1 FM KGFX, with live and archived video at the KGFX page of drgnews.com.

In summing the quadrangular up, Governor Head Coach Jessica Carr said: “We were hoping to edge out Watertown but it came down to the last match on the court to determine who won the dual, so for the dual to come down to that shows just how far these athletes have come over the last year. To pick up wins against both Brookings and Huron and to go 2-1 for the weekend helps build our ability to show up at ESD in a couple of weeks and be strong competitors there.”
The Governors will play Saturday at the Aberdeen Central Invitational at Northern State University.
