Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills volleyball team did its best to recover from a disappointing trip to Wyoming last weekend with a 3-0 win over Ellsworth CC at the Tom Arnold Net Center on Wednesday night.
IHCC (5-5) lost three of four matches at a tournament in Cheyenne last Friday and Saturday, a trip in which coach Terry Carlson said the Warriors should have gone 3-and-1.
Indian Hills started slowly in all three sets against Ellsworth, trailing early in each one. They were behind 4-0 in the opening set before a pair of aces by Wynter Davis put IHCC on top for the first time at 6-5.
Mariah Hopkins served four straight points to give the Warriors a 13-9 lead and IHCC stretched the advantage to the final margin of 25-16.
Indian Hills turned around Ellsworth's 6-2 second-set lead with improved court coverage and some strong serving. Thamara Nunes had three straight service winners late in the set and the Warriors won 25-18.
The third set was the most competitive of the night. Ellsworth took a 22-20 lead only to see Indian Hills score the final five points of the set to complete the sweep. Davis' kill ended the set and match, one of three big kills the sophomore had in the third set.
Davis had a team-high six kills for the match while Carly Wehling had five. Bibiany Hammes recorded 31 assists and Jonte Thornton contributed five blocks for IHCC. Hopkins led in digs with 18, three more than Wehling.
Indian Hills returns to action Thursday night at Marshalltown CC.
