Lueck helps No. 7 Eagles soar

Wed - 24 Sep Written by Jim Ecker

Halle Lueck has been a Kirkwood kid for a long time.

She grew up in the Kirkwood neighborhood as a student in the College Community (Cedar Rapids Prairie) School Sistrict. And her mother, Lynn, is the office manager for the Kirkwood athletic department at Johnson Hall, so Halle knows her way around the gym.

Now Lueck is a top-notch athlete at Kirkwood Community College as a prominent member of the seventh-ranked volleyball team. She leads all players in the ICCAC conference in assists and ranks seventh in the nation in Division II, averaging more than 10 assists per set on the team that's filled with heavy hitters.

Lueck had offers from NCAA Division III colleges and from Upper Iowa, an NCAA Division II school, but she was confident Kirkwood was the right place to begin her college experience this year.

No.7 Eagles raise record to 11-1

Sat - 06 Sep Written by Jim Ecker

Some colleges invite a bunch of weak teams to their tournament and call it a Classic, but that's not how it works for the Kirkwood volleyball program.

The Eagles invited the very best Division II teams in the midwest to their tournament this weekend and got a good idea of where they stand against quality competition.

As it turns out, the Eagles are in good shape.

The tournament featured No.1 Parkland, No.2 Cowley, No.3 Johnson County, No.4 Illinois Central and No.17 Iowa Central, along with Lincoln Land and Central (Neb.).

Kirkwood compiled a 3-1 record in the tournament with victories over Cowley, Iowa Central and Lincoln Land, with the lone loss to Illinois Central.

"What a great tournament," said KCC Coach Jill Williams. "Everybody was battling it out."
