The 11-11 Panthers led by senior Jasmine Nash, who was masterful at the net, and junior Sara Keller, serving flawlessly from that position.
The 3-16 Chargers kept it close throughout the night with solid efforts by Annaliese Van Zee, Payge Bakker and Madison Bradberry up front, while libero Jadyn Jaeger and Cateri Yellowhawk turned in performances in their respective back row positions.
Sully Buttes will have to shake off the disappointment to hit the court Tuesday night in Highmore at the Hyde County Auditorium against the 7-12 Highmore-Harrold Pirates.
Meanwhile, Timber Lake will host the Lemmon Cowgirls Tuesday night.
