FT. MADISON — Despite the absence of leading hitter Alex Scott, the Mt. Pleasant volleyball team looked strong in Fort Madison on Tuesday night.
The Panthers went in without their top hitter due to a lower body injury, but still controlled the match, beating the Bloodhounds in four sets.
Mt. Pleasant took the match 25-19, 26-28, 25-16, 25-18 to scoop up its second win over a Lee County team in Southeast Conference action.
The Panthers were coming off a 2-3 performance at a weekend tournament in Wilton. Mt. Pleasant defeated two Union area teams, Highland and Winfield-Mount Union in that one.
The Panthers are now 10-6 on the season and 2-1 in conference play. Mt. Pleasant will compete in the Ottumwa tournament on Saturday.
