Oh so close…again.
For the second time last week, the Turkey Valley volleyball team (3-10, 0-2 UIC) pushed a conference match to five sets and fell just short of closing the deal against North Fayette Valley (5-4, 2-0 UIC). The Trojans took game one from the visiting TigerHawks 25-22, before falling in the next two, 19-25 and 22-25. The Red and White came back to win set four 25-22 before falling in the final set, 15-13.
Saturday, the Trojans competed at the Waukon tournament, going 1-2 for the day. Turkey Valley opened the day with a 2-0 win over Riceville with set scores of 21-15 and 21-19. Next the Trojans faced host Waukon taking set one 21-17, only to see the match slip away with 13-21 set two and 9-15 set three losses. The Red and White finished the day of pool play against Spring Grove (Minn.), dropping the match with sets of 13-21 and 16-21.
It’s a busy start to the week for the Trojans having played Don Bosco Monday night and traveling to Kee Tuesday, Sept. 18, for another UIC match.
