Warhawks fall to Tigers

MARENGO — North Mahaska spotted Iowa Valley the first two games before winning the third game in an attempt to get back in their South Iowa Cedar League volleyball match Wednesday night.

But the Tigers won the fourth game to close out the match 25-14, 25-8, 22-25, 25-9.

“Tonight was definitely a frustrating night,” North Mahaska coach Dana Oswald said. “I was disappointed with our play as a team. We did not have the desire to win which needs to turn around for us to have success.”
