CRESTON - The NIACC volleyball team swept Southwestern 3-0 in an ICCAC contest Wednesday evening.
NIACC won 25-15, 25-18, 25-13 to improve its record to 6-14 overall and 3-2 in the ICCAC.
"(Wednesday) was a good road win," said NIACC coach Chris Brandt, whose teams have won seven straight matches against the Spartans. "We did a good job controlling the tempo of the game and moving the ball around on offense.
"We needed to have better ball control for our serve receive, but we managed to get the job done."
Freshman Jaida Hansen led the Trojans with eight kills and two blocks. Kyla Moore had six kills and three blocks and Tiegan Barkema had five kills, two digs and two blocks.
NIACC's Kaylee Ollendieck had nine digs and four assists. Ryley Wetlaufer had 15 assists, 14 digs, a career-high four ace serves and two kills and Alyssa Wickersheim had three kills and two ace serves.
The Trojans' Jade Thomas had three digs and Abby Suiter had one kill and one block.
NIACC returns to action Friday and Saturday at the DMACC tournament.
"(Thursday) we get to prepare for a challenging weekend at the DMACC tournament," said Brandt, who collected her 190th career win on Wednesday.
