The Norwalk volleyball team will enter regional play ranked 10th in Class 4A after the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released its final set of volleyball rankings on Monday.

The Warriors dropped one spot from their previous ranking of ninth on October 4 despite finishing the regular season by winning eight of their last 10 games. They will take a record of 24-14 into Thursday’s Region 4 semifinal at home against either 15th-ranked Carlisle (23-7) or Des Moines Hoover. Norwalk and Carlisle did not face each other during the regular season.

If Norwalk and No. 8-ranked North Polk both advance to the Region 4 final on October 24, that match will be played in North Polk due to the Comets’ higher ranking. The Warriors and Comets did not square off during regular-season play.
