Coe falls to River Falls in volleyball

PLATTEVILLE, Wis. - The Coe volleyball team lost to Wisconsin-River Falls, 23-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-21, at the Wisconsin-Platteville tournament Friday night.

Rachel Schaefer collected 13 kills and 14 digs for the Kohawks (17-4). Brianna Smith had 13 kills. Mackenzie Harbaugh had 41 assists.

River Falls raised its record to 9-7.

Schaefer sets record as Kohawks roll

Rachel Schaefer tried to keep her pursuit of the Coe College record for most kills at arm's length, but a text message Wednesday morning from her oldest brother Jake touched her deeply and got her thinking about it.

Schaefer, a 5-foot-10 senior from Waterloo, needed only two kills against Loras Wednesday night in an Iowa Conference volleyball match to break the all-time mark, so the chances were very good she'd get it.

Her paternal grandfather, who used to come to all her games in a variety of sports, passed away when she was a freshman at Coe and Jake wanted his sister to know how delighted their grandfather would have been about her impending school record.

"Jake said, 'I know he would be very proud of you, and we're all very proud of how hard you've been working,'" she related. "It's more sentimental than anything."
