For the second time this season, Oskaloosa’s volleyball team has beaten a ranked opponent. Tuesday night (9/24), the 15th ranked (Class 4A) Indians knocked off 13th ranked Norwalk in five sets at Oskaloosa High School. Norwalk won the first set 25-23, then Osky took the next two 25-18 and 25-23. Norwalk took the fourth set 25-16 to force a deciding fifth set, which the Indians won 15-9.
Sophomore Faith DeRonde had 19 kills and two blocks for the Indians, with senior Taylor Wills adding 12 kills and senior Jessica Schlesselman eleven. With the victory, Oskaloosa improves to 10-7 overall and 4-0 in the Little Hawkeye Conference—all alone in first place, after Dallas Center-Grimes defeated Indianola 3-0 Tuesday night. The Indians are off until next Monday (9/30), when they play at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.
