The Riverside Bulldogs volleyball looked as sharp as ever in their Western Iowa conference win over the IKM-Manning Wolves in 3 straight sets. With it being senior night, the Bulldogs took the energy from the crowd and phenomenal assists by Bentley Rone to win the first set 25-16.

In the second and third sets Riverside was led by Sophia Taylor with 9 kills and 2 digs and Rone who collected 5 kills, 4 aces, 5 digs, and 5 blocks. Both found success targeting the front row with their swings. It seemed that whoever went up to block for IKM-Manning had little no success stopping the constant attacks of the Bulldogs. The last two sets saw more grit from the Wolves. But that would not be enough as IKM-Manning struggled with multiple errors to give up the last two sets 25-15 and 25-19.

It was also a milestone night for Riverside as Madison Kelley eclipsed her 100 career blocks mark and Bentley Rone achieved 100 career aces.

The win improves Riverside’s record to 25-3 and 6-0 in the WIC. They travel to Treynor on Thursday to take on a 19-7 Cardinals squad. IKM-Manning slips to 10-14 with the loss and head to Audubon on Thursday to face the Wheelers.
