Polk County earned a much-needed celebration Tuesday evening.

The Wolverines eked out a tough first-set win over Chase, then steamrolled the Trojans in the final two to complete a sweep in a Mountain Foothills 7 Conference match in Forest City.

The 28-26, 25-16, 25-7 victory served as the 200th win in head coach Molly Hill’s career. In her 11th season leading the Wolverines, Hill now owns a 200-62 record, her victory total by far the most in school history. Heather Claussen is next closest with 95 wins from 2008-2012.
