In digs, Maddox led the Lady Tigers with 10 followed by nine each from Garner and Loughridge.

In Highway 89 volleyball action against Linn at Belle High School, the visiting Lady Wildcats also took both matches winning the JV contest in two sets 25-18 and 25-21 along with varsity action in three sets 25-16, 25-15 and 25-16.
