Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills Warriors used a late third-set rally to take control of the match and the Warriors defeated visiting Ellworth CC, 3-1, on Thursday night at the Net Center.
Ellsworth led in each of the first three sets, and even rallied to tie the score after IHCC took a 5-0 lead in the fourth set. But the Warriors pulled away to win that set, 25-15, and claim the match.
Ellsworth jumped out to a 15-5 lead in the opening set. Indian Hills battled all the way back, despite eight hitting errors, to finally take the lead. The Warriors had two set points before Carly Wehling finally ended it with a kill.
But the Warriors couldn't take advantage of the momemtum they had seemingly gained in that 27-25 first set win as the Panthers jumped out to a 17-10 lead in the second set and won it, 25-19. Six service errors hurt the Warriors.
Indian Hills found itself trailing 21-17 late in the third set as ECC looked to take control of the match. But IHCC setter Ailime Conglaves found an open spot in the Ellsworth defense for two tip winners, Wehling picked up back-to-back kills and Arika Johnson's block allowed IHCC to pull out a 28-26 win. Johnson had a team-high eight blocks for the match.
With the score tied at 11-all in the fourth set, Victoria Ita gave Indian Hills a spark with an eight-point service run and the Warriors were able to secure the win.
Wehling and Jessi Black each had 12 digs for the Warriors and Wehling led with 10 kills.
Indian Hills goes to Fort Dodge to play in Iowa Central's tournament on Friday and Saturday.
