Dauphin tops Neepawa in Inter-zone volleyball
Some outstanding serving helped to lift the Dauphin Clippers to a straight sets victory (25-11, 25-19, 25-7) over the Neepawa Tigers in varsity volleyball play. The Inter-zone game was played on Thursday, Nov. 17. at the NACI gymnasium, with a chance to advance to provincials on the line.
