The loss dropped the Lady Cardinals to 4-4.

"We played great the first 2 1/2 games," said first-year Bloomfield coach Jennifer Heaton. "We did everything well at the start, but could not get our blocks up late. All of our blocking came in the first 2 1/2 games.

"Our passing also was not very good the last 2 1/2 games. North Central has some good hitters and they were hitting over us. Our blocks just did not get there when we need them."
