Match of the Week: Iowa Western def. Indian Hills, 3-1
Iowa western stunned No. 14 Indian Hills by not only winning the match but by doing so in only four sets. Both the Reivers and Warriors entered the match with 11 wins, albeit Indian Hills had two less losses.
The start of the match was poor from Iowa Western losing the first set 25-11. Then the Reivers decided that they were not going to allow themselves to be swept aside so easily and went on to dominate the next two sets, winning 25-18 and 25-16 respectively. Then in set four the Reivers continued their home court momentum on to the fourth and final set where they closed out the game beating the Warriors 25-21. The Warriors would have been favored heading into the match due to their high powered offense and high ranking in the national polls, but this did not phase a Reivers team that backed themselves to champion the match on their homecourt.
Leading Iowa Western in the match was Genesis Simanca with 11 kills and Carol Herrero with 8 kills. Madelyn Uhlir led the team with 14 digs, 18 assists and 4 aces, right behind that Quinn Swofford had 11 digs and Callie Squiers had 13 assists. The Reivers led a clinic on how to block the ball against the Warriors with 20 total. Ella Kuosmanen led the team with 6 block assists followed by Maja Ciosek and Marian Vega with 5 and 4 block assists respectively for the night.
The Warriors were led by Sara Van Gisteren with 14 kills, adding to her tally that ranks third nationally. Also on the offense Ana Carolina Wetrich had a performance that added to her assists with 34 on the night -- Westrich currently averages the third most assists per set with 10.21. On the defensive side the Warriors had two players with double digit digs, Sabrina Nogureira Da Silva with 19 and Asialin Powell with 12. Daniela De Los Santos Castillo led the Warriors with 5 total blocks while Iva Mrkaic had 3 for the night.
The Reivers will play the Warriors in Ottumwa on October 17, this will be the next conference meeting between the two teams. Iowa Western controlled the majority of this past match but the tables will turn as they hit the road for the next matchup. Indian Hills will look to regroup and find the best way to beat the Reivers at home, looking to square things up 1-1 before playing the Reivers again in Council Bluffs in what could be the conference decider.
