Raiders rally to beat Mustangs, advance in regionals

MAXWELL — The Collins-Maxwell-Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe volleyball teams made it pretty obvious Friday night that neither one was ready for their season to end.

But only one could advance in the Class 3A regional quarterfinal game, and it went to the home team.

The Raiders pulled off a dramatic rally over their fellow Heart of Iowa Conference rivals, coming all the way back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Mustangs 3-2 in a match that was about as close as possible throughout. Game scores were 23-25, 22-25, 25-23, 25-21 and 15-13.
