The Hills-Beaver Creek volleyball team recorded a Red Rock Conference win without the guidance of head coach Nicole Fey Thursday.
Fey was in Rochester with her father, who was undergoing surgery that day.
Patriot assistant coach Amanda Rozeboom took over for Fey, and the players responded well by posting a 3-1 victory over Sioux Valley-Round Lake-Brewster in Round Lake.
H-BC got off to a great start by rolling to a 15-5 victory in the opener, but the Raiders climbed back into the match by taking Game 2 by a 15-6 margin.
The Patriots edged the hosts 15-13 in the third game to gain the upper hand at 2-1 before completing the deal with a 15-5 victory in the fourth game.
Tonya Leenderts led the Patriots with 14 service points and 11 digs. She also had six kills for an H-BC team that upped its RRC record to 4-2 with the win.
Erin Boeve had another big night at the net by shredding the Raider defense with 27 kills. Boeve also had nine digs.
