Waukon volleyball team pulls off thrilling comeback triumph at Crestwood

The Waukon volleyball team posted just a single win out of five total matches this past week, but what a win it was. In a battle of teams in search of their first Northeast Iowa Conference victory of the season at Crestwood Tuesday, October 7, the Indians fought back from the brink of remaining winless by claiming the final three of five sets, 21-25, 19-25, 25-23, 25-18 and 15-7. Waukon’s winning for the week was stopped there, however, as the Tribe netters fell in all four of their matches at the Hudson Tournament Saturday, October 11 to teams from Edgewood-Colesburg, Center Point-Urbana, Hudson and Iowa Valley.
Falling below the .500 mark for the first time this season with a 14-15 overall match record, 1-4 in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play, the Indians were scheduled to wrap up their regular season schedule at Class 4A sixth-rated Charles City Tuesday, October 14 before hosting the Northeast Iowa Conference Tournament Saturday, October 18, details of which can be found in a shaded box elsewhere on these Sports pages. The Indians are also scheduled to host their first-round Class 3A Regional Tournament match against Crestwood Monday, October 27, beginning at 7 p.m.
