Linn-Benton is in town to
night to face the Cougars for what
should be an easy victory for Clacka
mas’volleyball team after a rough
week at l^it Hood.
The Clackamas ladies can
focus on tonight’s battle as an easy
win. considering they’ve already
beaten Linn-Benton once in Al
bany during league play this sea
son. In a sentence, Cougar Coach
Kathie Woods sums it up.
“I never want to say this, but I
think we should sweep them.”
A win tonight would lift the
team’s spirits, and prepare them
for another weekend of tourna
ment play as they travel to Salem
this weekend for the Chemeketa
Cross-Over.
“I’m really concerned about
our tournament play,” explained
Woods. “We do extremely well
during league play, then we get to
the tourneys and we just don’t
play with the same intensity and
concentration. It worries me be
cause our goal is to make the play
offs, but if we don’t turn around
our tournament play, we won’t do
what we want once we get there.”
Last weekend’s Mt. Hood
Classic was one of those tourna
ments. Friday,-the ladies ended
their pool 0-4 including defeats
from Highline Community Col
lege as well as Chemeketa Com-,
munity College whom they de
feated just one week before.
Then, Saturday, they lost to Ya
kima Community College but beat
Clark Community College in three.
Yet, they still placed fifth in their
pool which “shows how poorly we
played earlier in the tournament,”
added Woods. They went on to
defeat Centralia Community
College to finish ninth in’the
tournament.
Last Wednesday was, on the
same token, a loss to Mt. Hood
10-15,10-15,and 13-15, however,
according to Woods, the ladies
played an excellent match.
“We played a good game even
though we lost. There were a lot
of long rallies and a lot of side
outs, but we just couldn’t get the
points to fall our way,” she ex
plained. '
Tara White led the team with
10 kills and 20 digs; Debbie Asboe
was there with nine blocks; and
Team Captain Tisha Chevron was
a key player with 13 assists and 16
digs.
“We can let Mt Hood go
because they’re undefeated, so no
one’s getting any wins off them,”
explained Woods. “We need to
concentrate on the* rest of the
season and our tournament play.
I think we need to just look at our
tourneys match by match, and take
one game at a time.”
for a battle against Linn-Benton this evening.
