The Mustangs vexed the visiting Vinton Vikings in three sets, 25-17, 25-10, and 25-18. The win Tuesday, Oct. 25 qualified the team for the state tournament held this week.
Madeleine Miller contributed 38 assists and four blocks to the win, while Chloe Meester again led the team in kills, with 18. Kameron Brand chipped in with 10 digs.
Despite her team’s state tournament berth, Coach Willems wasn’t ready to absorb the most recent win.
“As soon as you qualify for the state tournament, your work begins anew,” she said.
Nevertheless, said Willems, “We are feeling confident, continuing to prepare for our opponents, and training at a high level.”
This year, the crew will be playing at a different facility than in years past, as they travel to Coralville for the big show.
“We are really excited to be a part of the field that gets to play at the Xtream arena for the first year,” Willems said.
