Although disappointed with the results, IHCC coach Lyndsey Lyon couldn't fault her team's effort, saying, "All in all, our girls played great volleyball. We were ready for (Iowa Western). We just fell a little bit short."

IHCC Escapes in Battle With Grand View JV
Ottumwa -- After the first set of Monday's match between Indian Hills and the Grand View JV, it appeared that the Warriors would make quick work of the visiting Vikings. But Grand View had other ideas and battled the Warriors through three more sets before IHCC prevailed in its 17th win of the season.
Indian Hills took less than 20 minutes to win the first set, 25-8. But the Vikings came to life after that, losing the second set, 25-20, then winning the third, 25-19, and battling to the end of the fourth set before succumbing, 25-23. Grand View scored four straight points in that set to get to within a single point at 24-23 before a block by IHCC's Emily Eswonia and Cristiane Vosconsoles ended the set and the match.
The first set was all Indian Hills as the Warriors jumped on the visitors to take a quick 8-1 lead and were never threatened.
IHCC coach Lyndsey Lyon went to her bench in the second set, giving playing time to nearly the entire squad. But the Warriors lost their rhythm and never did find it the rest of the match.
The Warriors didn't lead in the third set, trailing at one point, 20-11. And they never did get a comfortable lead in the final set, either. But they still made enough plays to improve to 17-4 for the season.
Southeastern will come to the Tom Arnold Net Center for a 7 p.m. match on Wednesday night.

Warriors Notch Road Win
Estherville, IA -- Indian Hills was able to avenge two losses to Iowa Lakes last year with a 3-0 win over the Lakers on Tuesday night as the Warriors ran their season record to 4-1.
Showing no ill effects of the long trip to northwest Iowa, Indian Hills was in control for virtually the entire match, winning by scores of 25-18, 25-19 and 25-12.
"We came out a little flat," said IHCC coach Lyndsey Lyon. "But we did a good job of cleaning up our mistakes. It's nice to see our girls really stepping up at the net and putting the ball away."
One of those who stepped up was sophomore Emily Eswonia, who led the net attack for IHCC with six kills.
Indian Hills had a big night serving with just six errors on 81 serves. Ailime deFreitas had five of the Warriors' 13 ace serves to go along with 24 assists.
Carla Novaes and Jessica Black had 14 and 13 digs, respectively. Cris Vosconcoles had a team-high five blocks for the Warriors who return to action in a tournament hosted by Lincoln Land CC in Springfield, Ill. this weekend.

Wehling Transfers to West Alabama
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.
