Boone, IA - The 12th-ranked ICC volleyball team (23-10) stayed up and over at the Des Moines Area Tournament on Saturday afternoon. On the slate was a match against the hosts and 16th-ranked Des Moines Area Bears, and the cap of the weekend was versus a team rated within the Top 20 earlier this season, Bismarck State. The Cougars fell behind 0-2 to DMACC before flipping the script and winning the next three sets to take a 3-2 win (ICC's third Top-20 win of the season). Against Bismarck State, the Cougars won fairly convincingly, with 10 points being the closest margin of victory in a set.
