“Great way to start the season,” added Alex Zweibohmer.

The NICC team is off to an impressive start, says Head Coach Anthony Sisneros. “What an awesome start to our season, beating Indian Hills Community College for the first in team history and the first competition of our new season. Our student athletes battled through tough wind conditions and other elements to come away with the victory. We now need to take this momentum into our next competition against Hawkeye Community College,” said Sisneros.
