Volleyball to compete in Central Bank Triangular at Buena Vista

NEW ULM, Minn. - MLC volleyball heads to Storm Lake, Iowa, on Saturday to play in the Central Bank Triangular hosted by Buena Vista University.

The Knights will play two matches on Saturday afternoon, taking on Rockford at 1 p.m. and Buena Vista at 3.

MLC is coming off an 0-4 opening weekend at the Ripon College Classic. Over the course of last weekend, the team progressively improved, culminating with a five-set battle against Marian (Wis.), coming up just short. Libero Anna Kieselhorst had 64 digs and was named to the all-tournament team. Kiara Humann led MLC offensively with 36 kills while freshman Kenzie Loberger had a strong debut weekend with 27 kills, 58 digs and 10 aces. Setters Ella Walz and Kourtney Zech had 65 and 50 assists, respectively.

Buena Vista had a perfect 4-0 start to its season last week, competing at the Concordia-Chicago Invite. The Beavers didn't drop a single set in wins against Knox College, Benedictine University, Bethany Lutheran College and Concordia-Chicago. Sophomore Charley Hernandez had 50 kills.

Rockford is 1-2 to start the season with losses to Beloit College and Eureka College and a win last weekend against Principia College. Lilly Dewey and Jalyn Rhodes have registered 26 and 22 kills, respectively.
