The Pella High volleyball team, though finishing the day below .500, still did some good things at the Newton tournament on Saturday. The Lady Dutch swept Carlisle 21 – 8 and 21 – 8, and did the same to Ottumwa, 21 – 12, and 21 – 15. Pella dropped to Harlan in straight sets, and battled hard against ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, 15 – 25, 25 – 23, and 8 – 15, before ending the afternoon with another battle against Boone, 28 – 30 and 18 – 25. Coach Catie Brand tells KNIA/KRLS Sports her girls played well and had a great day. Pella is now 11 – 18 on the season and they will take on Norwalk on the road in a conference match on Tuesday.
