The second set saw Indianola maintain a slim lead for the majority of the contest, eventually pulling away to lead 18-11, only to see a Newton run to get the contest close before the Indians closed it out for a 25-21 victory.

The third set saw the Cardinals keep it close early with the Indians only ahead 13-12, but then went on a 12-4 run to close it out. They improve to 21-2 and 4-0 in the Little Hawkeye Conference, and will next play in one of the premier tournaments in the state, the Urbandale Invitational on Saturday.
