Ottumwa, IA -- The Indian Hills volleyball team got off to a fast start Wednesday in their final regular season home match against No. 6-ranked Iowa Western, but the Reivers came storming back to win 3-1.
Playing inspired volleyball in the opening set, the Warriors broke away from a 14-all tie and went on to win the set 25-20. Two straight blocks off IWCC kill attempts gave Indian Hills the lead for good. Patrice Souza followed with one of the many huge hits she had on the night for another point and the Warriors went on to finish off the visitors.
Tahler Johnston served four straight points and IHCC roared away to an early 5-0 lead in the second set. At that point, Iowa Western was able to regroup. The Reivers forged a 10-10 tie and Lacey Alexander's ace serve gave them the lead. With the set even at 11, Iowa Western ran off five straight points.
Iowa Western took set two 25-17 and won the third set 25-14, despite an early 2-0 lead for IHCC. Indian Hills' 3-1 lead in the third set quickly disappeared and the Warriors didn't lead again. Iowa Western was on top throughout the fourth set. Indian Hills got as close as two points twice, but couldn't get any closer. Kersten Phillips had three blocks in the final set for the Warriors.
Johnston and Souza led IHCC with five kills each. Taylor Woebbeking had 39 assists from the setter position. Phillips and Wynter Davis each had seven blocks and Timmi Lueck had 25 digs to lead in that category.
The loss snapped a four-match win streak for the Warriors who will play in Jefferson College's tournament this weekend.
