The Audubon Wheelers were able to rally back from a 2 set deficit in a Regional Final with Grand View Christian to make it to the State tournament and they hope they can start faster on the state stage.  Audubon (27-6) will face a tough challenge in the Quarterfinal round on Wednesday night in Cedar Rapids against Springville (28-7).

The Wheelers have had a week to let the accomplishment of being the first team in school history to head to the state tournament set in.  Audubon Head Coach Molly Lange said it was a great accomplishment to come back and get the win in the Regional Final.

Coach Lange said they have focused in now on performing well at the state tournament and says the Wheelers will need to play a good team game against a well balanced Orioles opponent.  Lange knows a key to winning will be to start faster than they did in the Regional Final.

Springville comes in to the match with three players over 200 kills and two more with 130+. Oriole Head Coach Claude Howard said that balance is the strength of his team.

The Orioles played some tough competition, especially to start the season, to prepare themselves for the type of teams they see in the postseason.

Will have coverage of the Wheelers and the Orioles in their Class 1A Quarterfinal round match at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids.  Pre-match coverage will begin at 7:30pm and play is set to begin at 8:00pm on court #2.
