Warriors Drop Hard-Fought 3-Setter
Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills Warriors put a scare into fourth-ranked Iowa Western on Tuesday night, but couldn't come away with a victory, losing in three sets to the Reivers.
The Warriors missed a big chance for some early momentum in the match when they had two set points in the opening set. But Iowa Western staved off those IHCC opportunities and won the set, 27-25.
With the second set tied at 4-4, the Reivers got a side-out and then Emily Jones served six straight points to give IWCC an 11-4 lead. The Warriors answered with a five-point run, but wound up losing the set, 25-19.
Indian Hills then jumped out to a 14-8 lead in the third set, only to see Jones' serving again turn things around. She served six consecutive points and Iowa Western went on to close out the match, winning 25-22.
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."
Indian Hills was impressive in a lot of areas in the match, especially in keeping rallies alive. They had 64 digs on the night, Jessi Black leading the way with 17, one more than teammate Emily Eswonia.
IHCC also minimized their service errors, going 65-of-67 on serves. Peyton Crosser's eight kills led the Warriors and she and Cris Vosconsoles each had three blocks.
With a 21-6 record, Indian Hills has over a week off before they play in the Kishwaukee Invitational Oct. 18-19 in Rockford, Ill.

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.
