The Roadrunners came home to a chance at redemption on Monday night after a close Thursday night match in Afton against the 2010 state qualifying East Union Eagles. The Southeast Warren Warhawks and the Lenox Tigers traveled to Interstate for the first round of Pride of Iowa Conference playoffs. The night was a success for the Roadrunners who, after beginning the night with a victory against Lenox and ending the night with a victory against Southeast Warren, qualified for the second round of conference playoffs. This is the first time I-35 has qualified since the introduction of the new playoff setup. Tuesday proved to be a tough day for the Roadrunners who took conference champions Bedford Bulldogs to five games with the last game coming down to a close 12-15. Olivia Sulentic led the team with 19 kills, Staci Morris had 30 assists, and both served 100 percent.
In the consolation match to follow, the Roadrunners fought off the Nodaway Valley Wolverines for third place. Interstate pulled the feat off in four games with Morris and Kate Bobst serving 100 percent featuring three aces apiece. Sulentic led the Roadrunner attack with 12 kills. Morris had 25 assists. In total, I-35 went 3-1 in the conference tournament and is approaching a 20-win season, also a first in almost five years for the Roadrunners.
