Saturday was the perfect temperature for cross country racing at Luther College, and the results the South Winn runners produced were indicative of that as 100 percent of the Warrior harriers clocked season-best times on the course that varied between flat, straight lanes and several uphill climbs.

“I can’t say that I have ever seen a team perform at such an improved level across the board,” complimented SW coach Kevin Kearney.

The runners averaged over one-minute improvements from the previous meet at Charles City.

The South Winn volleyball team entered Thursday’s game versus Starmont knowing it would be a tough battle, but no one could have anticipated that the game would come down to miscues and missed serves from a team that usually never misses.

The Lady Warriors ended the night with their first UIC loss to the Stars, 3-1, with game scores of 19-25, 21-25, 25-21, and 22-25.

Neither the Warriors or Stars could gather a run of serves to take a significant lead in any of the four-game, which allowed both teams to stay in the match until the end.

Brittany Shindelar and Megan Elsbernd topped the Lady Warrior kill chart with 13 and 12, respectively.

Friday’s contest versus Sumner-Fredericksburg was a test of who wanted it more, as South Winn’s final tally was put on the board with one tick remaining on the clock to give the Warriors the 34-28 district win.

“This was a great test for us as we had to battle for four quarters to get the win.  We have a lot of things we will work on correcting as we get prepared to go back on the road at Denver next week,” said coach Jason Ohrt.

From the kickoff, the Cougars did an excellent job of controlling the pace of the game and took just eight plays to reach the end zone from the SW 46-yard line.

UIU - Coach’s Corner

 

UIU - Coach’s Corner

UIU (1-1, 1-1) @ Northern State (1-1, 1-1) 

“This is  a big game for us since we really need a victory,” stated UIU head coach Tom Shea.

The Wolves of Northern State own an impressive three-OT win over Wayne State, and took a highly regarded Sioux Falls team to the limit.

“They will present a real challenge,” stated Shea. 

Like UIU, the NSU offense uses the spread and likes to throw. It has an All-NSIC QB to direct the attack; he is also the team’s leading rusher.

“They are very, very aggressive on offense,” noted Shea.

On defense, the Wolves use a base 3-4 but will blitz on every play.

“You know someone is coming; the only question is form where?” Shea explained

Game time in Aberdeen, S.D., will be 1 p.m.

North Fayette Valley had an uncharacteristic week in volleyball  losing three of four matches.

“Our confidence is really up and down,” stated head coach Bruce Ehler. “We know we have the talent, and we put little runs or sets together, but we just are not able to sustain it.”

NFV opened with a UIC loss, 3-0, at Turkey Valley on Thursday, Sept. 12. Saturday at the Kepros Tournament in Cresco, the TigerHawks lost the first two games, before pulling out a 21-18, 17-21, 15-7 match against host Crestwood, who was first in NFV’s pool.
