2006 Iowa Girls State Volleyball Tournament

Class 1A Quarterfinals

Waukee 2, Pella 1 (OT)

Amanda Gruis' goal three minutes into overtime lifted sixth-ranked Waukee to a 2-1 victory over fourth-ranked Pella in Class 1A first round action of the Girls State Soccer Tournament in Muscatine.

The match reunited a pair of Little Hawkeye Conference opponents and served as a measure of revenge for Waukee, who suffered a 3-0 loss to the Lady Dutch early in the regular season and snapped an eight-game Pella winning streak.

Waukee overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit to tie the score four minutes into the second half on a goal from Kara Knott. The Warriors ended the game when Gruis scored on an assist from Steph Whitmer.

Pella scored its only goals when Sarah Schuring converted a penalty kick.

Pella outshot Waukee, 8-5, in the contest. Waukee goalkeeper Karly Stanley had seven saves while Tressa Ver Steeg added five for Pella.

Waukee improves to 15-4-1 and faces top-ranked Cedar Rapids Xavier in the Class 1A semifinals Friday at 4 p.m. Pella ends its season at 15-5.

Pella (15-5) 1 0 0 -- 1

Waukee (15-4-1) 0 1 1 -- 2
