D-NH's Petersen tabbed as NICL East's top player

Dike-New Hartford's senior libero Sydney Petersen was named as the North Iowa Cedar League East's top player of the year, one of four Wolverines on the first team of the all-conference rosters released this week.

 

Petersen, a Texas commit, is joined by UNI commit and twin sister Baylee Petersen, Madison Hedges and Morgan Weber on the first team. D-NH head coach Diane Harms shares this season's Coach of the Year award with Waterloo Columbus coach Hanna Nuss.

 

Sydney Petersen finished as the Class 2A All-Tournament Team captain and averaged 4.71 digs per set in conference play, serving 72-of-77 from the line with 15 aces.

 

Second-team selections included Dike-New Hartford juniors Amber Rickert and Carlee Dove along with Aplington-Parkersburg junior Jenna Bruns.

 

Honorable mention was awarded to Aplington-Parkersburg's Canon DeGroote and D-NH's Allie Aalderks.
