MOUNT VERNON — The first of four weekend tournaments saw the Tipton Tiger volleyball team take on two highly ranked squads and two other solid programs at last Saturday’s Shirley Ryan Invitational.

The Tigers lost to Waverly-Shell Rock by twin scores of 21-7. Kelley Lieser had two kills and Bierman had one. Ashley Hatland had three assists. The Tigers served 14-for-14 with an ace. Hatland and Hailey Stewart each were 3-for-3. Stewart led Tipton in dits with six.
The Tigers played Des Moines Christina tough before falling 2-0. Tipton nearly won the first set, falling 21-17 before the Lions beat Tipton 21-4 in the final set. The Tigers had 7 kills with Kelley Lieser and Hailey Stewart each with two. Avary Calonder
had four assists and Sydney Barton led THS with nine digs. The Tigers served 18-for-22 with two aces in the match. Calonder was 6-for-6 with an ace and Barton was 5-for-5 with an ace.
