WACO Warriors volleyball kept up their torrid pace with a perfect Saturday at the Cardinal Tournament in Eldon. After being pushed to the full three sets against Danville but still winning the decisive set 15-11, WACO swept Highland, Twin Cedars, and the host Cardinal Comets in straight sets. Senior hitter Ellah Kissell finished with a team-high 36 kills and 24 digs during the course of the tournament. Along with handing out 66 assists, senior setter Grace Coble seemed to cover every inch of the court, adding 10 kills, six aces, 19 digs, and two blocks.

Junior Emma Wagler was a force at the net with 20 kills and four blocks. Junior Meredith Roth provided a jolt to both the offense and the defense on the back row with nine aces and 16 digs. The Warriors stay hot with now seven straight wins that have vaulted them to 14-1. Next up for WACO is this year’s Super Conference Volleyball Tournament. The Warriors will be alongside Hillcrest Academy, New London and Van Buren County.
