No. 7 Pella was a step behind No. 6 Oskaloosa all evening as the Dutch fell in the 4A Regional volleyball finals Tuesday night 3-0 (25-19, 26-24, 25-16).

While Pella kept up with the Indians offensively, a poor night serving and on defense spelled doom as the home team pulled away late in all three sets.

Pella Head Coach Mallory Peterson says with how close the teams were in terms of ability, it was a matter of who performed better in the margins, and Oskaloosa did so with strong service runs.

The Dutch finish the 2021 season at 29-10 overall and say farewell to five varsity seniors.
