A smallish Elk River volleyball team is counting on powerful serving to help them win a few matches this season.
The Elks had that weapon going in a season-opening 25-20, 25-9, 25-18 win over Big Lake at home on Tuesday evening.

The Elks started to break the match open when Lundquist served for six straight points, two of them aces, in game two to open a 14-4 lead. Big Lake, after playing well in the first game, missed several serves in game two.
Jayde Krauth, 5-foot-9 senior, led at the net with 10 kills. Kara Ziemer was next with four.
The Elks will host St. Francis on Thursday at 7 p.m.
