Kirkwood - Volleyball
FORT DODGE - The Kirkwood women's volleyball team lost to a pair of ranked teams at the Triton Invitational in Fort Dodge Saturday.
The 19th-ranked Eagles fell to No. 4 Cowley, 21-25, 22-25, 25-10, 25-13, 15-11, despite taking a 2-0 lead after the first two sets.
Kirkwood bowed to No. 18 North Dakota College of Science, 23-25, 25-22, 25-18, 28-26, after grabbing the first set in that match.
The twin defeats dropped the Eagles to 20-12 for the season.

FORT DODGE - The Kirkwood women's volleyball team split its two matches at the Triton Invitational in Fort Dodge Friday.
The 19th-ranked Eagles were trimmed by Carl Sandburg in their first match, 17-25, 25-21, 22-25, 25-17, 15-11, despite taking a 2-1 lead in the first three sets.
Kirkwood bounced back by sweeping St. Louis, 25-20, 25-23, 25-19.
The split left the Eagles at 20-10 overall for the campaign.

The Kirkwood women's volleyball team could be on the verge of borrowing the same script that last year's club followed during a bumpy ride.
If so, the 2019 season could have the same happy ending.
The 19th-ranked Eagles rallied to hand 11th-ranked Iowa Central its first loss in the ICCAC Conference this year with a determined 24-26, 25-18, 29-31, 25-18, 15-9 comeback victory in an entertaining match at Johnson Hall.
Just like last year, this year's team has experienced a bunch of ups and downs and probably will not win the league title. And perhaps just like last year, this year's team might get hot at the right time and make a long run in the national tournament.
The Eagles finished fourth at nationals last year. They've already defeated top-ranked Parkland this year despite a few disappointing performances, so maybe they'll make their mark when the postseason tournaments begin Nov. 2.
Can the Eagles make another run? "I hope so," said sophomore Taylor Carey. "We will!"
Carey is one of only five sophomores at Kirkwood this season, along with 10 freshmen, so she knows what's possible if the Eagles stick together and have a positive attitude.

BOONE - The 14th-ranked Kirkwood women's volleyball team lost to seventh-ranked Highland, 21-25, 25-23, 26-24, 25-12, at the DMACC tournament in Boone Friday.
The Eagles won the first set, but they dropped the next two sets by two points apiece before struggling in the fourth set.
Kirkwood swept Longview, 25-22, 25-23, 26-24, in its first match Friday and has an 18-9 record for the campaign.

MASON CITY - The 14th-ranked Kirkwood women's volleyball team lost to NIACC, 25-17, 25-23, 19-25, 25-23, in an ICCAC conference match in Mason City Wednesday night.
The setback dropped the Eagles to 17-8 overall and 2-3 in the conference. NIACC, which is not ranked, raised its records to 17-5 overall and 4-1 in the league.
Abbie Ericson led Kirkwood with 12 kills and Anna Gorsich had 10. Madi Wagaman collected 26 assists.
