Spartans’ NICL West winning streak reachers 30 matches

    GRUNDY CENTER — Grundy Center extended its North Iowa Cedar League West Division winning streak to 30 matches last Thursday with a hard-fought three-set victory over Gladbrook-Reinbeck.
    Set scores were 25-16, 25-17 and 26-24.
    Coach Darwin Sents said Gladbrook-Reinbeck gets excited to play the Spartans in the battle of rivals just 10 miles apart.
    “We got through it,” he said. “We were hoping for more consistency.”
    The Spartans were without injured leading hitter Stephanie Faust for the second straight week, forcing others to step up in her absence. Sophomore Katie Lindeman paced Grundy Center with 10 kills in the match while sophomore Alyssa Mathews and senior Kennedy Buss added eight kills each. Peyton Ralston had 15 assists, Riley Sents 39 digs and Buss five blocks.
