The Lake Mills volleyball team advanced to the Class 2A, Region 5 finals Friday with a 3-0 win over North Fayette.

The Bulldogs (38-3) won 25-21, 25-21, 25-22 to reach the finals for the first time since 2004.

Jordynn Brackey led Lake Mills with 12 kills and Darcy Nelson added nine in her first start since injuring her ankle. Cassie Christianson had 25 assists and Sammy Nelson led with seven digs.

The Bulldogs were strong from the service line just like they were against Central Springs in the quarterfinal round — in fact they were better. Lake Mills tallied 14 aces as the team used serving as a point of attack against North Fayette.

Bulldogs head coach Jim Boehmer said going into the match he knew the service line would be a place where his team could pick up some points.

Lake Mills will face Aplington-Parkersburg at Mason City Newman Tuesday night.

Aplington-Parkersburg defeated Starmont 16-25, 25-17, 27-25, 25-18.
