The Kee volleyball team finally got to open its 2020 home schedule, hosting Central Elkader Tuesday, September 22 in an Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) battle. That match-up ended up full in favor of the visiting Warriors in three straight sets, the Hawks falling by scores of 16-25, 22-25 and 18-25 to slip to a 1-2 record in Upper Iowa Conference play as part of an overall 2-4 season mark.
The match statistics were nearly as close as the final match scores, with those statistics also falling mostly in favor of Central Elkader.
