Mounder spikers continue to roll

A home volleyball game against Elmwood Sept. 24 resulted in a three set sweep for the Elk Mound girls over Elmwood by scores of 25-12, 25-8 and 25-9, and traveling to Glenwood City two days later, they left town with the same results, sweeping the Hilltoppers 25-12, 25-8 and 25-19. The pair of wins leaves the Mounders in a three way tie for second place in the conference at 3-1 as they host the 4-0 conference leading Mondovi Buffaloes Oct. 1.
