CRESTON — It was not

listed as the ICCAC game of

the week but don’t tell the

Lakers and the Spartans that.

The two volleyball teams

got together in Creston

Thursday night and treated

the limited spectators

and loyal streamers to one

heck of a match. It took a

little over two hours but

Southwestern came a way

with the win 3-2, by scores

of 29-31, 25-23, 28-30,

25-22, and 15-9. The two

teams have split the season

match ups with Iowa Lakes

winning in five at home and

Southwestern returning the

favor in Creston.

“Definitely a tough loss to

swallow but I can’t praise

our girls enough for how

hard they played tonight,”

said Iowa Lakes Coach Mike

Turnbull.. “There were huge,

gutsy performances on both

sides of the net. I really hope

we can carry this kind of effort

and enthusiasm forward

going through our last six

matches leading into Region

Xl play-offs.”
