[November 02, 2013]  MASON CITY -- To say the Mount Pulaski Lady Toppers had to work very hard to earn coach Donna Dulle her 1,000th win would almost be an understatement. The Lady Toppers faced off against longtime volleyball rivals the Hartsburg-Emden Lady Stags Thursday night in the regional championship at Mason City.

The crowd witnessed some fantastic volleyball play that saw each team gain and lose momentum and end up neck and neck until the very end. Finally the Lady Toppers won 27-25 and 28-26.

It was a moment for Mount Pulaski fans to remember as coach Dulle witnessed her team playing their hearts out to earn that 1,000th win for her. A celebration of fans gathered on the floor as the regional plaque was handed to the girls and the crowd also recognized coach Dulle for this achievement.

Hats off to a classy Hartsburg-Emden team who came to play and challenged the Lady Toppers for every point. Incidentally, Hartem’s coach Jennifer Hayes recently reached her 500th career win for the Lady Stags.

The folks in the gym Thursday night certainly enjoyed some of the best volleyball coached by two of the best the sport has to offer.
