CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Madi Wagaman rolled up 76 assists Saturday as the Kirkwood women's volleyball team finished with a perfect 4-0 record at the Parkland Invitational.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Aubrin Dittmer collected 27 kills Friday as the 13th-ranked Kirkwood women's volleyball team won both of its matches at the Parkland Invitational.
Dittmer had 15 kills as the Eagles topped Lincoln Land, 25-12, 19-25, 25-20, 25-15, in their first match in the tournament. She followed with 12 kills as Kirkwood trimmed McHenry, 25-23, 28-30, 25-21, 25-18, in their second outing.
The sweep lifted the Eagles to 15-7 for the campaign.
Anna Gorsich supplied 11 kills, 18 digs and five blocks in the victory over Lincoln Land. Dittmer contributed 16 digs. Taylor Carey had 10 kills. Madi Wagaman provided 37 assists. Maranda Wheelock had 13 digs.
The Kirkwood Eagles were serving for set point and a 2-0 lead in their match against Northeast Wednesday night, but the contest went poorly for the Eagles after that.
Northeast topped the Eagles, 3-1, in an ICCAC contest at Johnson Hall.
Kirkwood won the first set 25-22 and was serving with a 24-23 lead in the second set, but Northeast took that second set 26-24 and then coasted in the final two sets, 25-15 and 25-16.
The loss dropped the Eagles to 13-7 overall and 2-2 in the conference. Northeast, which is not ranked, raised its records to 11-8 overall and 4-0 in the league.
EAST PEORIA, Ill. - The eighth-ranked Kirkwood women's volleyball team split matches with two other ranked teams Friday at the Illinois Central tournament.
The Eagles were nipped by 13th-ranked Illinois Central in their first match, 25-17, 25-21, 19-25, 21-25, 15-5 despite a strong comeback in the third and fourth sets.
Kirkwood swept 16th-ranked Moraine Valley, 25-23, 25-15, 25-22, in its second match of the day.
Abbie Ericson led the Eagles against Illinois Central with 14 kills and eight blocks. Anna Gorsich had 11 kills and 16 digs. Madi Wagaman contributed 36 assists. Maranda Wheelock had 26 digs and Wagaman had 13. Taylor Carey blocked seven shots and Maggie Peters had five.
The Kirkwood women's volleyball team has been consistently inconsistent this season, including Wednesday night's match against DMACC.
"We had our ups and our downs," said Coach Jill Williams.
Fortunately for the eighth-ranked Eagles, there were more ups than downs.
Kirkwood rallied for a 17-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-22 victory over the Bears in an ICCAC conference match at Johnson Hall.
The Eagles have modest records (for them) of 12-6 overall and 2-1 in the conference. They've whipped top-ranked Parkland this year, but were swept by unranked Southeastern at home.
Consistency is the key.
"It's definitely a goal. We talk about it all the time," said Anna Gorsich, a 6-foot freshman from Linn-Mar.
"It has to do with our energy not being there and our intensity not always being there. So that's definitely one of our goals, to stay consistent."
MORAVIA - Jacob Harrington-Wara of Kirkwood tied for fifth at the Warrior Challenge Tuesday at the Rathbun Lake Golf Course in Moravia.

Roger Lianto and Philip Nelson of Mount Mercy tied for seventh place at 2-under 214. Sterling McIlravy of Kirkwood finished ninth at 1-under 215 and James Morgan of Kirkwood tied for 10th at even-par 216.
