Match 4: vs. Iowa Central CC

The Tritons triumphed the Raiders, 3-1, to close out the Raider Classic. The first two sets were won by Iowa Central – 25-16, 25-23. The Raiders took the third set, 25-21. However, a CCC comeback was stifled in the fourth set as the Tritons took the match with a 25-23 victory.

"Iowa Central is a solid team and we hung right with them and made them play to beat us," said Young. "We were bitten by the injury bug once again as Maddie Davis suffered what appears to be a concussion in the second set. However, I thought Jordee Korte showed a lot of poise as she stepped into the role of setter and made great decisions. We continue to get tested with all of our injuries and I'm really proud of our team and their ability to stay positive and cohesive. I do believe it's preparing us for something great."
