Marion bumped off by Lewis Central
As Marion senior Olivia Frazier put it, the Indians’ volleyball state tournament first round match with Lewis Central on Tuesday night was a “roller coaster.”
First up, then down. Up and down.
But it ended on the downside.
The Class 4A sixth-ranked Titans of Council Bluffs peaked when it mattered, prevailing 15-10 in the fifth set, to oust fourth-ranked Marion in the last match of opening day at the U.S. Cellular Center.
It started out so well, too.
With big twin hitters Frazier and junior Isabella Sade pounding down kills almost at will (six and four, respectively), the Indians took the first game with relative ease 25-13.
"We came out really pumped up,” senior Kaela Halvorson said. “We definitely had all of our adrenaline.”
