The Decorah volleyball team (19-2) hosted its own tournament Saturday, claiming the team title overall by going 6-0 on the day.
The Vikings started the day dominating the court versus Kingsland (Minn.) 2-0 by sets of 21-9 and 21-3. They went on to best Central Elkader with sets of 21-10 and 21-7. In the final game of pool play, Decorah smashed Riceville 21-7 and 21-4. 
In the championship bracket, Decorah took down Jesup, the other undefeated team of the day in three sets, 21-9, 17-21 and 15-10. The Vikes beat Kingsland for the second time in the day by identical 21-17 scores. The day ended for Decorah with a 2-0 win over South Winn by sets of 21-6 and 21-4.
“It was a great day! We were able to get everyone on the court, continue to play together and make good things happen. We had a different person lead us in stats in every match which makes for a balanced team effort throughout the day,” said Coach Gina Holthaus.
For the day, Amelia Dugger led the way at the net with 35 kills to go with six solo blocks and 23 digs. Haley Gossman provided 22 kills, while Annika Franzen added another 19.
