Creek Valley’s Chandra Smith helped stymie the Lady Indians with 11 aces in 16 serve attempts. Freshman Faith Michelman added seven aces of her own as the Storm combined for a total of 23. Smith also added five digs to lead the team.

Against Minatare, Jessie Straber pounded home six kills, while Payje Misegadis added four and Joey Straber three. Joey Straber also put in a strong defensive performance as she led the squad with seven digs while Katie Burch and Jessie Straber each had five.

The Strom are back in action on Tuesday for a triangular at Morrill at 5 p.m. Arthur County will also compete.
