Central (16-7, 2-2 American Rivers Conference) started fast with a 25-15 win in the first set against Wartburg (14-7, 4-2 conference) before closing out the sweep 25-15, 25-21, 26-24.
           
Dutch setters Makayla Ribble (senior, Iowa City) and Landry Pacha (junior, Wellman, Mid-Prairie HS) had 20 and 12 set assists, respectively.
           
"Our setters decision making was really strong," Czipri said.
           
Outside hitters Leslie Snow (senior, Olivia, Minn., BOLD HS) and Paige Sexton (junior, Sheridan, Ill., Serena HS) each had 11 kills to lead the Dutch but Czipri said right-side hitters Sophia Folkerts (junior, Dike, Dike-New Hartford HS) and Rachel Bowers (sophomore, Orion, Ill.) crucial to the victory with nine and eight kills, respectively.
