Garrett McLaren 85 12th place
Lane Nelson 90
Cruz Weaver 105
Roth Den Beste 92

Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “This was our first 18 hole tournament of the year. It was good to be back on the course. However, we weren’t as sharp as we need to be. I saw several 3 putts by many of our boys. That is something we will need to clean up. Drey played better today then the last meet which was good. Braden started well and was one over going into the 7th hole but finished the front at 41. The struggles continued onto the back. Garret played a solid round but wants to shoot better. Lane had some struggles at times but also had some really good holes. Roth had a solid back. Had some three putts and if those go, he is in the 80s. Cruz struggled as well. I know he will work and get better though. A team score of 341 is high. We should be able to shoot in the 320s. That should be our goal going into Fox Run.”

Sports

April 13th, 2021 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa junior setter/right-side hitter Courtney Buzzerio has been named an honorable mention All-North Region team selection by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Tuesday morning.  

Buzzerio, who was named first-team All-Big Ten last week, is only the fifth Hawkeye to earn All-Region honors in school history and first since Sara Meyermann in 2001. 

The Chino Hills, California, native, led Iowa in kills (184) and aces (20), ranked second in assists (323), and third in digs (127) and total blocks (46). She posted a team-high eight double-doubles, including a string of four straight. Buzzerio recorded her third career triple-double (13 kills, 21 assists, 11 digs) against Indiana on Feb. 5., becoming the only individual in the Big Ten to record a triple-double and only one of 22 in the nation to do so this season.

Buzzerio, who played in every rotation, finished the season averaging 9.2 kills, 16.1 assists, and 6.3 digs in 20 matches. 

Iowa State’s Holthaus, Enna, Herrera earn AVCA All-Region Honors

Sports

April 13th, 2021 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Three members of the Iowa State volleyball team were recipients of 2020-21 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region awards announced on Tuesday. For the second-straight season, right side Eleanor Holthaus was named to the First Team, while Izzy Enna and Candelaria Herrera picked up honorable mention distinction.

Holthaus is the ninth player in ISU history to pick up two All-Region First Team honors in a career. Herrera picked up her second career All-Region nod, as she was a First Team selection in 2019. This is the first AVCA All-Region recognition of Enna’s career.

Holthaus was the Cyclones’ outstanding performer throughout the season, leading the ISU attack with 251 kills at 3.22 per set, which she got at .261 hitting. She was in double figures 15 times, including matching her career-high off 22 twice at TCU on Nov. 21 and vs. Wayne State on March 26. She hit over .300 in a match nine times during the season. In the back row, she recorded 157 digs at 2.01 per set. Holthaus notched eight double-doubles on the season.

Enna was the leader for the ISU back row on the season, as she led the Big 12 with her 341 digs at 4.37 per set. The Kansas City native recorded at least 10 digs each time she started at libero for the Cyclones and recorded eight matches with at least 20 digs on the season. Against Kansas on Nov. 13, she posted a career-best 27 digs.

Despite missing the spring potion of the season while back in Argentina training with the National Team, Herrera put up big numbers in her 14 matches with the Cyclones. She was fourth on the team with her 2.36 kills per set, which she got at a team-best .271 hitting percentage. Herrera had six matches in double figures, including a career-best 20 kills vs. Kansas on Nov. 13. The Argentine was also ISU’s leader at the net, finishing with 1.11 blocks per set on the season, a figure that was good for sixth in the conference on the season.

Herrera spent the spring in Argentina training with the Argentina Women’s Volleyball National Team in an effort to make the team for the 2020 Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, Japan. Herrera will take advantage of the waiver year offered by the NCAA and will return to the Cyclones in Fall 2021
