BOONE - The NIACC volleyball team split a pair of matches Saturday at the DMACC tournament.
NIACC dropped a 3-0 decision to RCTC and topped Ellsworth 3-1 in the second day of the tournament.
RCTC topped NIACC 25-23, 25-16, 28-26. NIACC gained the win over Ellsworth 23-25, 25-8, 25-22, 25-19.
"We lost the first set and found it hard to gain momentum during that match," NIACC coach Chris Brandt said of the match against RCTC. "We have to chalk that up to a good lesson learned.
"During the second match, our attitude and grit took a serious turn and we became the scrappy team willing to fight for every ball."
NIACC was led by sophomore Grace Tobin with 46 kills, 24 digs, four assists, two ace serves and four blocks. Samantha Coron had 54 assists with 21 digs, 12 kills and three ace serves.
NIACC's Kyla Moore had 13 kills, two ace serves and three blocks. Ryley Wetlaufer had 17 assists, 13 digs and four ace serves and Megan Vidmar had four kills and two blocks.
Also for the Trojans, Kaylee Ollendieck had six assists and 16 digs, Kalayah Kaschub had four kills and seven blocks, Halsie Keltner had four kills and four digs and Tiegan Barkema had 24 digs and seven kills.
NIACC (14-16 overall) returns to action Wednesday in Norfolk, Neb. The Trojans face Northeast CC in an ICCAC match and North Platte CC in a non-league match.
