The Wooden Shoes won the opener 25-9 but Newton came back to take a 26-24 victory. T-town then claimed the match 25-18 to improve to 14-13 on the season.

"Keys to the match were we had no extended runs of unforced errors," said T-town Coach Jim Dietz. "In the third set, Newton closed the score to one when Sara Zumbahlen had a setter attack for a sideout which quickly became a much larger lead.

"That was the best we've played from start to finish in a match this year. We passed well all match and that meant we could run an offense and our hitters made good choices all night."
