Winning Streak Ends at 35 for No. 1 Cobras

D1 #10 Iowa Western Comes From Behind

CHAMPAIGN, IL – No. 1 Parkland saw its regular season end with a loss to (Division 1) #10 Iowa Western (25-17, 25-15, 26-28, 25-27, 12-15) in the Parkland Tournament. The defeat ended a 35-match winning streak, as the Cobras had not lost a set since September 27th and had not lost a match since September 6th. Because the Cobras had defeated Moraine Valley in straight sets (25-11, 25-18, 25-12) earlier in the day, they finished with a regular season record of 52-2. Postseason play will begin November 9th.
 
In Match 1 (Moraine Valley), Summerlyn Smith (19 assists) and Rachel Verdun (14 assists, 10 digs) set up numerous attacking Cobras including: Amanda Greening (9 kills), Abigail Burnett (8 kills, 4 blocks), Paige Yoder (7 kills), and Ryleigh Warfel (6 kills). The Cobras team defense was strong, executing 72 team digs, and was led by Brooke Norder (24 digs). Adding to that total were Verdun and Gabby Wessels (10 digs) who combined for another 20. Burnett and Dakota Harmon (4 blocks) also provided cover at the net.
 
In Match 2 (Iowa Western), Parkland took a 2-set lead, and had several subsequent match points, but the Reivers from Iowa remained composed and were relentless, denying the Cobras that final point to put the match away. Defensive leaders included Brooke Norder (23 digs), Ellie Stone (23 digs), and Ryleigh Warfel (19 digs, 21 kills) on the floor with Summerlyn Smith (33 assists, 7 blocks), Paige Yoder (17 kills, 6 blocks), and Hannah Benson (5 blocks) at the net. The offensive attack leaders were Warfel, Yoder, Amanda Greening (14 kills), and Abigail Burnett (11 kills) with assistance primarily from Smith and Rachel Verdun (29 assists).
 
Next up for Parkland will be postseason play, beginning with the Central A District Championship round. The Cobras will first play Southwestern Illinois College at 12:00 pm, Saturday, November 9th. The winner of that match will play in the championship match that same day at 4:00 pm. This preliminary postseason round will take place in Champaign, IL, on the Parkland campus.
