Norse earn two on All-DC net team

Two Whitehall volleyball players broke up a string of Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran players on the All-Dairyland Conference First Team, announced last week.

Allison Koepke and Nylah Lisowski were both first-team honors, making Whitehall the only team outside of ECIL to have more than one player on the first team. The Norse went 11-3 in Dairyland Conference play, finishing behind only the Lancers who went 16-1, advancing to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association State Semifinal round.
