Senior outside hitter Amiya Smallwood finished with nine kills, two serving aces and 11 digs, while junior hitter Josephine Moore had seven kills, a pair of aces and 12 digs. Senior setter Ava Fineran handed out 24 assists to go with three kills and three aces for the Savages, who are now 2-0 in the South Iowa Cedar League and 7-4 overall.
The Keota Eagles were not as fortunate, falling in four sets at English Valleys Thursday night. After dropping a tight first set 26-24 and losing the second 25-15, Keota rallied to win the third set 25-22. Unfortunately, English Valleys claimed the fourth set 25-19 and took the match.
It’s the fourth straight loss for the Eagles after a 5-0 start to the season, all losses of which are in conference play. While Keota is off a week until facing Iowa Valley, Sigourney will face the Tigers in their next match Monday.
