Big comeback = conference title

Below, the Mainstreeters get pumped up prior to taking the court against B-B-E earlier this month...they clinched the West Central North Conference title outright for the first time since 2001 and the first time under head coach Jim Klaphake.

The Streeter volleyball squad lost their first two games against Albany Thursday night, but staved off a 3-1 defeat in a close fourth game, and then rallied for a game 5 win to win 3-2, clinching the West central Conference North title.

Sauk lost game one 25-20 and game two 25-19. Game three went to Sauk 25-16. But it was game four that was a back-and-forth battle until Sauk pulled off a 30-28 win. The momentum from that victory carried over to game 5, which they won handily 15-5.

The win gives them their first outright conference title under Jim Klaphake's tenure as coach. Last year they shared the conference crown with, who else? Albany.

Macy Weller had 21 kills and four blocks. Kendra Zenzen had 26 digs and Jena Klaphake had 25 set assists.

A great win for the Streeters. Congratulations to the girls and coaching staff!
