Ottumwa, IA – After a 2-1 weekend at the inaugural Iowa-Missouri Challenge, the Indian Hills Volleyball team climbed to No. 15 in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) DI Volleyball rankings, announced on Monday.

The Warriors (14-6, 1-1) picked up two wins in Marshalltown, IA over the weekend as teams from Iowa and Missouri battled at the Student Activity Center. The Warriors topped Jefferson College (MO) 3-1 on Friday night before sweeping No. 17 Mineral Area College (MO) on Saturday morning. Indian Hills dropped its final contest of the tournament, a 3-1 decision to Missouri State University-West Plains, ranked No. 8 in this week's national poll.

The two Warrior wins helped Iowa win the first-ever cross-state challenge with a 5-4 overall record. Sophomore Precious Daley (Des Moines, IA/Roosevelt) put together the two highest single-match kill performances with 18 against West Plains and 15 against Jefferson. Anja Vranic's (Belgrade, Serbia/Sports Gymnasium) 24 digs against Jefferson were also the best mark of the tournament.

Indian Hills heads to the Highland Triangular to take on Highland Community College (KS) and Butler Community College (KS) Oct. 8.
