CEDAR RAPIDS -- As well as they reload, as often as they return, the volleyball players from Western Christian don't seem to view state-tournament appearances as a birthright.
"It's such a blessing that we can come back here," Brooke Wolterstoff said after top-ranked Western swept Carroll Kuemper, 25-10, 25-16, 25-21, in a Class 2A quarterfinal Thursday night at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena.
The Wolfpack (48-1) extended their state record of consecutive semifinal appearances to 11. They'll face No. 4 Grundy Center (42-1) at 6 p.m. Friday.
