FORT DODGE - The NIACC volleyball team dropped a pair of matches at the Iowa Central tournament on Friday.

Freshman Hannah Wagner led the Lady Trojans with 15 kills, four digs and three blocks. Sophomore Amanda Borden collected seven kills with 15 digs and five blocks and Shelby Heston had 11 kills and 14 digs.
