The Audubon Wheelers bounced back from their performance in the Western Iowa Conference tournament to win their first-round playoff match against Exira-EHK Monday night.
Both teams started off the first set by going back and forth with the lead. Audubon tied the Spartans at 5-5 and started to inch away from them.

Both teams had a stretch of bad serves, but Audubon was able to get back on track and start to take back the set after being tied at 12-12. The Wheelers got on a 9-3 run that got them up 21-15 that was halted momentarily by Exira-EHK, who was able to get within two points of tying the game again at 24-22. But it was Jaci Christensen who ended the set with a Wheeler win at 25-22 with a powerful swing to the corner.
The Wheelers were able to carry their momentum into set three starting off with a 2-0 lead. The Spartans kept it close in the beginning, and matched the Wheelers at 2-2, 3-3, 7-7, and 8-8. Past that 8-8 tie, Audubon started to pull away from the Spartans by going on a lengthy run that ended with Audrey Jensen pushing over a slow ball that sealed the set win for Audubon at 25-16. The Wheelers improve to 10-17 overall on the season. Wednesday night, the Wheelers will travel to Ankeny to take on Ankeny Christian Academy in their round two playoff match.
