Cedar Rapids, IA -- Indian Hills scored the final four points of the opening set and used that rally as a springboard to a sweep of Kirkwood CC on Wednesday night.
Carly Wehling had three kills as the Warriors made up a 22-21 deficit at the end of the first set and won it, 25-22. IHCC went on to take the next two sets, 25-20 and 25-15, to gain some measure of revenge for an earlier loss to Kirkwood.
Indian Hills coach Terry Carlson said it was the Warriors' best match of the season. "We played with a lot of enthusiasm. We have everybody back and healthy and it makes a big difference."
Wehling had 17 kills to lead the Warriors' attack. Emily Eswonia added eight and had a team-leading 12 digs. Arika Johnson had half of IHCC's eight blocks.
With the win, Indian Hills is now 20-16 for the season. The Warriors will play three matches in the Jefferson College Invitational this Friday and Saturday.

Carly Wehling continued her strong net play for Indian Hills, leading the Warriors in kills in both matches on Saturday, as she had the day before. Wehling pounded 13 kills against Longview and 11 against DMACC. She also had three ace serves in the opening match and a team-high 10 digs against the Bears.
