OTTUMWA --- Former Indian Hills Community College volleyball player Carly Wehling has transferred to the University of West Alabama to continue her education and volleyball career.
Wehling, a native of Readlyn, Iowa and a graduate of Wapsie Valley High School, was a two-year starter for Indian Hills and improved her hitting efficiency almost 200 points in her sophomore season for the Warriors. She also set the school single-season record for ace serves with 76 and was the team-leader in kills, averaging nearly three kills per set.
UWA coach Tabitha Turner said, “Carly is going to be a great addition to our lineup. She is an outstanding player and will play a pivotal role as we move this program forward in the coming year.”
West Alabama was 21-11 overall last season and finished fourth in the Gulf South Conference.
Wehling said she liked West Alabama’s campus in Livingston, Ala. “The campus has a small-town feel which I have been used to all my life. The coaching staff at UWA is very easy to relate to and they gave me an opportunity I couldn’t refuse.”
Wehling said the school has an outstanding athletic training program which is what she plans on studying.
Indian Hills coach Lyndsey Lyon expects Wehling to continue to improve at the next level. “Carly was a great asset to our team,” said Lyon. “She was strong as a passer and hitter and was our go-to player at crucial times. She was a leader on the court and academically, and she’ll be a great fit for UWA next fall.”
Wehling also had a successful high school career, earning first-team all-conference honors three times and playing on teams that won back-to-back state titles.

Warriors' Bid for National Tourney Berth Ends
Council Bluffs -- After winning their two matches in pool play in the District D tournament in impressive fashion, the Indian Hills Warriors were primed to spring an upset against defending district champ Iowa Western in Sunday's title match.
But the Reivers quickly squelched the Warriors' hopes for the upset with a straight-set win. Iowa Western advanced to the national tournament, beating the Warriors, 25-14, 25-17 and 25-22.
The match ended the IHCC coaching career of the Warriors' Terry Carlson, who had announced earlier in the week that he would retire at the end of the season.
"I told the girls that I couldn't have had a better group of girls for my final Indian Hills team," Carlson said on Sunday. "We never let the circumstances get us down. Even in the final loss, we had girls step up and make big plays. You can't ask for more than that from a team."
In the match with the Reivers, Carly Wehling, playing her last match for IHCC, led the team with eight kills. Jessi Black and Emily Eswonia, a pair of freshmen, each had 10 digs and Kelsey Wagner, another sophomore, had three blocks.
On Saturday, Indian Hills took care of two Illinois schools -- Lake Land and John A. Logan -- in three sets each. The scores against Lake Land were 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20. The JAL scores were 25-20, 25-23 and 25-17.
Wehling had 13 kills in the first match and 10 against JAL. Eswonia had 13 digs in each match. Setter Ailime Conglaves had 30 assists in both matches.
The Warriors end the season with a 23-20 record.
