The Mississinewa Lady Indians Volleyball team improved to 6-1 on the year with a win over the Bluffton Tigers last night on Fredenberger Court. Mississinewa was able to win a very competitive first set 26-24. In set two Mississinewa was able to pull away a little more winning the second set 25-18. Mississinewa fell in set three 25-19 after Bluffton battled back with a lot of energy that stunned the Lady Indians. During set three a questionable call against Mississinewa saw Senior Jazzy Nicholson eventually receiving a yellow card, firing up her team. Set four saw a very worn out Bluffton team against an aggravated and fired up Mississinewa team. The Indians pulled away in the final set winning 25-7 to improve to 6-1 on the year. The Indians are back in action Wednesday as they host Northfield at 6pm.

Girls Golf

For the first time all season Josh Dakin and his Mississinewa Girls Golf team was finally able to post a team score.
