Reivers Sweep on the Road, Move to 2-0 in ICCAC Play

Kortlyn Henderson, Kelsey Havel and Genesis Sheridan combined for 35 kills, Reka Kotorman added 37 assists and Gracie Teeter chipped in four blocks for the winners. "We held on to the game plan really well of where they could hurt us and where they could make us weak," IWCC coach Alicia Williams said. "We made sure those things didn't happen, and I think they fell flat. We were a little flat, too, but I think we slid by on our end because they made some errors and we took advantage of it."

The Reivers found themselves in an 8-2 hole in the third set, but they never panicked, chipped away, and prevailed with a sweep in the end. The Reivers were 7-5 on Sept. 14 before their road winning streak began. "We've been trusting the process," Williams said. "To be honest, I've been a little hard in practice, just doing the little things will make us better. "We can do the big things. We can hit a ball hard. We can dig a ball, but the little things were eating us alive in the beginning, and we got really picky about it. We said that this was going to make us better, and we bought into it."

The Reivers will head to Great Bend, Kansas this weekened for the Barton Invitational, where they'll open against Cloud County CC on Friday at 12:00pm.
