Warriors fall to two of top UIC teams
The Warrior girls continued to navigate through the conference portion of their schedule last week, taking on North Fayette Valley and Turkey Valley.
On Monday night, Sept. 27, South Winneshiek gave North Fayette Valley (4-0 in UIC play) all it bargained for as the Warriors pushed the match to five sets.
“We got momentum early with victories in the first two sets, but NFV stormed back in front of their home crowd to take the final three sets and secure a key conference win,” said coach Alex Smith.
South Winn won the first set, 25-23, and then earned another close win in the second set, 26-24.
