Vikes knock off New Hampton

By Becky Walz,

The Decorah volleyball team (13-2, 2-1 NEIC) continued its win streak Tuesday night defeating New Hampton (16-4, 2-1 NEIC) on the road, 3-0. Set scores were 25-11, 25-12 and 25-22.
“This was a great team victory for us. We passed the ball very well which allowed Mara (Holland) to run our offense and mix up the sets. All of our hitters were efficient with the ball, and we had few errors. Autumn Schaller played another big match for us; she had a huge serving run early and then dug the ball very well in the back row,” said Coach Gina Holthaus. “We are looking forward to hosting our own tournament on Saturday. Hopefully we will continue to grow together each night out on the floor.”
As a squad, the Vikings hammered out 35 kills on 80 attack attempts. Leading the way was Amelia Dugger with 13 kills. The junior also had four total blocks and went 10-for-11 in serving. Haley Gossman pounded out six kills and came away with eight digs with a 11-for-12 serving mark with three aces. Mara Holland dispensed 26 assists and was 14-for-14 in serves. Defensively, Autumn Schaller produced 11 digs and served 16-for-17.
The next chance to see the Vikings on the court will be Saturday, Sept. 25, as Decorah hosts a varsity tournament at 8:30 a.m. The Vikes are at Waukon Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7:15 p.m.
