The Kuemper Catholic Knights volleyball team looks poised for a deep postseason run after a dominating performance against Atlantic on Wednesday night in the Class 3A Region 2 Quarterfinals. The Knights ran away with a straight set victory 25-2, 25-10, 25-6 over the Trojans.

The Knights started hot with a 7 point run to open up the first set and put together another 7 point run and an 11 point run to take the first. The stars for the Knights shone bright as kill leader Aimee Adams finished with 10 kills and one service ace on the night. Kara Peter was the leader early in the match and finished with 7 kills, 3 blocks, and 4 aces. Anna Niehaus also finished the night with 7 kills to help Kuemper advance.

The top-ranked Knights improved to 40-1 on the year and will host in-town rival Carroll next Tuesday in the Regional Semifinal. The Tigers were able to get there by outlasting OA-BCIG in 5 sets in Ida Grove.

Atlantic’s season ends with an 8-28 record.
