Husky players come from behind to take first home match

The Delta Huskies volleyball team hosted the North Pole Patriots for their first home game of the 2026 season. After falling to the Patriots in the first two sets, the Huskies refused to give up.

Delta battled back to win the third and fourth sets, forcing a fifth-set tiebreaker. With the first team to 15 points declared the winner, the Huskies came out swinging and finished strong, securing the victory in front of their home crowd.

The Huskies will return to their home court on September 17 and 18 when they take on the Galena Hawks.

Go Huskies!
