MARSHALLTOWN - The NIACC volleyball team picked up a pair of wins at the Marshalltown CC Tiger Invitational on Friday.
NIACC (5-6 overall) stopped Coffeyville CC 3-0 winning by the scores of 25-22, 25-18, 25-13.
The Trojans, who have won three straight matches, also topped Fort Scott CC 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-14).
"(Friday) was, honestly, just a fun day watching these ladies compete," NIACC coach Chris Brandt said. "So many positives and growth opportunities throughout both matches.

The Trojans' Emily Opstvedt had 22 assists, 12 digs and four ace serves and Kenedee Frayne had 22 assists, six digs and five ace serves.
