Waukon volleyball team begins season winning four of six matches at Mabel-Canton Tournament

The Waukon volleyball team opened its season by winning four of six matches at the Mabel-Canton Tournament held in Minnesota Saturday, August 30. That 4-2 record in the Tribe’s pool play matches would have advanced the Indians into a final bracket-round match to play for third place at the tournament, but Iowa high school rules limit the Indians to playing just six matches in a single day. Within their pool play matches, the Indians’ only match losses came to the two teams that would eventually play for the tournament title. The Tribe netters fell in straight sets to eventual tournament runner-up Rushford-Peterson, 18-25 and 19-25, and undefeated tournament champion Mabel-Canton, 9-25 and 17-25.

The Indians were scheduled to play at Postville Tuesday, September 2 and will then have back-to-back matches to begin next week, Monday, September 8 at MFL/MarMac and Tuesday, September 9 at home against Decorah.
