Hawks topple RedTails on the road in ICCAC play

WATERLOO, Iowa – The Northeast Community College volleyball team got revenge on Wednesday afternoon, topping Hawkeye Community College, 5-1 in an ICCAC match in Waterloo, Iowa.

The Hawks (8-5, 3-1 ICCAC) led by a goal after the first half, thanks to a goal from Sara Pedroza (Hastings, Neb.) in the 12^th-minute. Romeni Gurmendi (Boulder, Colo.) found the back of the net in the 49^th-minute, while Sara Pedroza recorded a goal in the 54^th-minute off an assist from Erica Derby (Keenesburg, Colo.) Avery Brummage (Broomfield, Colo.) followed with a goal five minutes later, before Naomi Pedroza (Hastings, Neb.) pitched in a goal in the 77^th-minute.

The Hawks outshot the RedTails, 15-8. Carolin Stahlmann (Ahrensburg, Germany) had three saves.

"We started this match off with a heavy attack and were able to get a goal," head coach Chad Miller said. "At halftime, we talked about playing a whole half with the same intensity. We knew Hawkeye would come out the second half and play hard, so we wanted to match that. I was extremely happy with how we answered our halftime talk."

The Hawks host North Iowa Area Community College at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk.
