The Central volleyball season came to a close Saturday as the Dutch played two games in Grinnell. Central opened the day by falling 3-1 to Illinois College, and were swept by hosting Grinnell.

The 2-6 mark in conference play was not good enough to qualify for the American Rivers Conference Tournament. Central’s season concludes with an overall record of 17-13, their first winning season since 2014. Central will say goodbye to five seniors.

While the main focus this time of year is the fall sports season coming down to crunch time, some winter sports have begun competition, including Central Wrestling. The Dutch competed at the Pointer Open in Stevens Point, Wisconsin Saturday to open the season. No team scores were kept, but the Dutch took home the titles in the top three weight classes.

Nathan Fritz, Gavin Babcock and Duncan Lee each went 3-0 to take home individual titles.

The dual season begins Thursday at 7:00 p.m. when Central hosts William Penn inside P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium.
