Following a week hiatus from competition, the South Winn volleyball team (5-7) returned to action on Saturday at the Jesup Tournament. The Warriors finished third in the six-team round robin tournament going 3-2 on the day.
In the first match of the day, the Warriors had a 15-11 lead over North Linn in the first set, but couldn’t maintain their lead, eventually falling 21-18 and then suffered a second loss, 21-8.
South Winn rebounded with three straight wins, two over conference opponents, to put themselves in a position to tie for a tournament championship. The Warriors defeated Alburnett (0-8) by a pair of 21-16 sets, West Central (0-5) in two sets of 21-12 and won over Central Elkader (1-12) 21-9 and 21-11. Jesup (4-8) spoiled the title bid as the host, just edging the Warriors in set one and going on for the match win in two sets, 22-20 and 21-10.
“This is a great tournament for us for several reasons. Playing five matches allows us to look at some different personnel and settle on some lineups going into conference play. We were also able to preview a couple conference opponents that we will see in the coming weeks. Our girls had many bright spots on the day and worked through some things on the floor that we could see we needed to address,” said Coach Alex Smith.
For the day, the Warriors had 55 kills, 47 assists, 18 total blocks (4 solo, 14 assist), 98 digs, 33 aces and served 152-for-173. Individual stats from each match are available to view at www.decorahleader.com.
