The Immaculata Raiders stepped out of the area and the Northeast Kansas League to square off with some different opponents on the volleyball court on Saturday and picked up a tournament championship in the process, going 4-1 at the West Franklin Invitational.

The day started off with pool play for the Raiders and Immaculata would go 2-1 in pool play to finish second in the pool and advance to the Semifinals. Immaculata picked up wins over Osage City and Osawatomie in pool play both in straight sets 15-17, 25-12 and 25-9, 25-23, respectively. While their loss came to Anderson County who beat the Raiders in straight sets 25-17, 25-23.

In the Semifinals the Raiders took care of business and beat Pool A winners, Lyndon in a tough three set match 25-21, 20-25, 25-17. While Anderson County won the other Semifinal matchup beating the host West Franklin 25-12, 17-25, 25-23.

That set up a rematch of a pool play match earlier in the day as Immaculata squared off with Anderson County for the second time on the day and this time the Raiders earned the win in straight sets 26-24, 25-21, to claim the tournament championship and improve to 17-5 on the season.
