Southside volleyball coach Steve Haaser felt pretty good after Thursday’s first set with North Little Rock.

Apparently his players felt pretty good, too.

North Little Rock, sluggish and sloppy in the first set, roared back for a 13-25, 25-17, 25-17, 25-22 victory at Southside Gym — North Little Rock’s fourth straight win over the Mavericks.

Southside (5-5, 1-2) travels to Bryant on Tuesday.

“That first game was very misleading,” Haaser said. “North Little Rock didn’t look very good, and it sort of lulled our girls into a false sense of security, where they thought they had it.

“But hats off to them, they (NLR) played really good.”

The Charging Wildcats (9-2, 2-1) rebounded following Tuesday’s 3-0 loss to Conway in a big way.

But it didn’t look good early.

The Mavs turned a tight 9-8 lead into a 21-10 blowout in a span of a few minutes. North Little Rock struggled with service errors, hitting errors and miscommunication.

But once they grabbed the momentum, it was hard for Southside to slow them down.
