The No. 9 Pella volleyball team swept Oskaloosa (25-20, 25-14, 25-8) to advance to the Class 4A Region 4 Final for the third straight season.

Despite a bit of a slow start, the Lady Dutch dominated the majority of the match wire-to-wire. Head Coach Catie Brand tells KNIA/KRLS Sports they emphasized better serving and tipping on offense as the Indians tried to at times triple-block the heavy hitters in green.

Pella was led by 20 kills from Emily Holterhaus and nine team aces, including three from Natalie Clayberg and two from Katie Dyas.

The Lady Dutch are 32-6 and look to avenge their first loss of the season as they host Bondurant-Farrar Monday night for a chance at a third-straight state tournament trip.
