Harper rolls past Triton in regional opener

On paper, Wednesday night’s NJCAA Division III, Region IV tournament women’s volleyball quarterfinal between Harper College and Triton figured to be a mismatch.

And this time, the paper prediction turned out to be pretty accurate.

The third-seeded Hawks (30-20) came away with a 25-7, 25-9, 25-12 win over Triton. That puts Harper in Saturday’s regional semifinal against the winner of the Rock Valley-Milwaukee Area Technical College game.

The Hawks trio of Rebekah Hischke, Morgan Peterson and Veronica Dabrowski set the tone as all 14 team members got court time.

The focus for the hosts was to “limit our errors,” according to Dabrowski.

Hischke attributed her team’s success to its spacing. “Our outsides were set up well,” she said.
