Entering the Iowa Conference tourney as the No. 5 seed, the Central volleyball team made some late noise.

The Dutch went on the road to surprise fourth-seeded Loras, then stunned league champion Coe to advance to the championship match for the 16th time in the tournament’s 24-year history, but fell to Cornell and closed with a 24-10 mark.

Senior libero Chelsea Grieger earned all-Iowa Conference honors for a third time, chosen for the first team. She topped school digs records for a season (812) and a career (2,441) and was named the conference libero/defensive specialist of the week five times.
