Chaska sophomore Shelby Peterson

Chaska’s volleyball team has proved over the years that it does not let an opponent get an upper hand.

The same is true of this season.

The Hawks moved to 4-0 on the year with a 25-19, 26-24, 25-14 victory Thursday at Lakeville North.

Chaska went into the match as the top-rated team in Class 3A, with the Panthers pulling in at No. 2.

The Panthers started the season 3-0, and had topped defending champion Shakopee in five games last week.

Chaska opened the Lake Conference schedule on Tuesday with a 25-12, 18-25, 25-18, 25-16 win over Burnsville.

The Blaze began the season with a five-game win over Prior Lake and a 3-1 win over Holy Angels.

The Hawks host Eagan at 7:15 p.m. on Monday night. The Wildcats swept the Hawks early last season, but Chaska came back with a tournament win just before sections at the Chaska
Invitational.
