Boone, Iowa - The 16th-ranked ICC Volleyball program (21-9) is certainly playing high-level volleyball at the moment. After this weekend's tournament at Des Moines Area, the Cougars tallied two Top-20 wins, taking down #9 Kirkwood last night, and they would wrap up their time in Iowa by winning a five-set thriller versus #11 Hawkeye, after going down two sets to zero to the team that had just swept ICC not all that long ago. The three-match win streak sets up a highly-anticipated battle with rivals and #3-ranked Parkland next Thursday in East Peoria. As always, statistical leaders are below.
