Consistency has been a problem for the United South Central volleyball team at times this season and it was once again Tuesday in a 3-1 loss to Blooming Prairie in Wells.

The Rebels lost the first two sets 25-20, 25-23, before winning the third set 25-18. But the Awesome Blossoms ended any kind of a USC rally abruptly with a 25-12 victory in the fourth set.

Kayla Stenzel led the Rebels with 15 kills and Marielle Schultz had 36 assists. Carly Peterson finished with 13 digs while Danielle Koestler had 11 kills and 10 digs.

USC hosts Austin Thursday.
