The Black Hawk volleyball team, the defending Six Rivers East Conference champions, are ready for another run.
The Warriors (2-0 Six Rivers East) extended their conference winning streak to 14 straight matches after a three-game sweep of Albany, 25-12, 25-20, 25-13.
"I think they are as good as last year," Albany coach Connie Wunschel said.
The Comets (2-3, 1-2) were led by sophomore Sydney Bump, who had six kills and three blocks.
Fellow sophomore Courtney Pfeuti had 10 assists and junior Clare Koopmans had several key service points.
"She inspired us in a close second game," Wunschel said.
Black Hawk hosts Monticello Thursday night, and Albany goes to Argyle.
Argyle 3, Juda 1>
In a volleyball match originally scheduled at Juda, the match was moved to Argyle so the Panthers could pick up a match Homecoming week.
The Orioles (2-4, 1-2) capitalized on the home court advantage, pulling out a thrilling four-game match over the Panthers, 23-25, 25-22, 25-22, 25-22.
Argyle junior outside hitter Jackie Dammen had seven kills and junior Stephanie Cuevos had nine assists.
Lindsay Flanagan led the Orioles with eight digs and Kim Fischer had five aces.
Argyle coach Shane Johnson said the team may have been putting too much pressure on themselves to get the first conference win.
"I think we are just starting to get to the point where we are finally starting to feel comfortable," Johnson said.
Argyle hosts Albany Thursday night. Juda plays at Pecatonica.
