"Set 1 was tough, we had a lot of unforced errors," said head coach Christy Mahi. "We really cleaned things up in set two and competed with them losing 23-25. We took that same focus into set three and actually led 10-6 at one point until one of their servers went on a run."

Wednesday was also Sophomore Night for the RedTails. Mahi shared her thoughts about this year's group of sophomores:

"It was fun to honor the sophomores for their hard work and dedication to the program before the match." she said. "They are a great group of people and have been a joy to coach. We will miss having them in our gym next fall and wish them only the best as they move on to what is next for each of them."

The RedTails will play against North Iowa Area Community College on Wednesday, October 30.
