Sents repeats as NICL West Player of Year

    Grundy Center won its sixth straight North Iowa Cedar League title this year. During that span the Spartans have crowned league Players of the Year five times, each time a different player … until this year.
    Riley Sents became the first Spartan to repeat as Player of the Year in at least five years earlier this month, as she was named to the honor on the all-conference team announced by league coaches.
    Sents was one of 10 area players named to the all-league teams, including four on the first team. She led the league with 7.1 digs per game in conference matches while ranking fourth in the state (all classes) with 6.6 digs per game overall. She also served 94 percent in league matches with nine aces.
    Sents was joined on the first team by teammates Katie Lindeman and Alyssa Mathews. Lindeman led the Spartans and ranked fourth in the league with three kills per game. She ranked second on the team with 4.2 digs per conference game and served 91 percent with a league-leading 17 aces per game.
