The Iola High School volleyball team hosted a pair of schools Tuesday afternoon. The Mustangs split with Santa Fe Trail and Osawatomie.
The first matchup saw the Mustangs fall to Santa Fe Trail in two sets, 25-14 and 25-18.
Mustangs leaders included Reese Curry who went nine-of-10 from the serving line with one ace and Alana Mader who led Iola with five kills in the matchup. Also, Rio Lohman registered two blocks while Dallyn McGraw picked up five digs.
Iola came out on the winning end in their second matchup with Osawatomie, 25-21 and 25-19.
Elza Clift and Curry led at the serving line with three aces apiece. Jackie Fager and Mader each led with four kills and Kaysin Crusinbery notched 11 assists. Aysha Houk went 11-of-11 on digs and had a 2.3 passing average in the victory.
“Overall, it feels good to get a win,” said Iola head coach Amanda Holman. “We have to stop letting the first games of the day get away and stop beating ourselves. We will continue to work on this at practice. I was proud of how the team bounced back to get the win against Osawatomie.”
The Iola volleyball team will compete at the Burlington Invitational on Saturday at 9 a.m.
