Our kids shot well in tough conditions," Iowa Central head coach Terry Coleman said. "The north wind was making the targets move a lot and they stayed focused and got the job done. 

"It was a fun night at the range."

Iowa Central is now off until September 18 when they travel to Kirkwood. Next home action for the Tritons will be October 12 vs. Southwestern.
