Pella’s volleyball team dropped its first match in three weeks, but still rebounded to win the Newton Tournament Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Dutch dropped a pool play match to Harlan, 2-0 (21-18, 22-20), then took advantage of their second crack to beat the Cyclones 2-1 (24-26, 25-23, 15-12) in the finals.

Pella also beat Ottumwa, Grandview Christian and Carlisle, all by 2-0 sweeps, to improve to 23-3 on the season.

In the tournament, junior Emily Holterhaus had 66 kills, giving her more than 1,000 kills for her career.
