Clackamas volleyball’continued
their winning ways by placing first
at the Treasure Valley Crossover
Tournament in Ontario, Oregon.
The Cougars only had eight players
available for the weekend, but the
girls pulled together to win the
tourney.
“Overall, there was not a strong
pool of teams; we were picked to
win and we did,” said Head Coach
Kathie Woods. “Sometimes it’s
hard to stay consistent when teams
aren’t challenging you.”
On Saturday, Nov. 1 the
Cougars played two tournament
games. They defeated Treasure
Valley by scores of 30-13, 30-14
and 30-19. They went on to face
Tacoma CC in the championship
game.
The Cougars defeated Tacoma
by scores of 30-22, 27-30, 30-13
and 30-16. Clackamas also defeat
ed Tacoma, Treasure Valley,
Shoreline CC, and Blue Mountain
CC the previous day during pool
Play-
y
Tacoma placed second in/he
tournament followed by Treasure
Valley, Blue Mountain and
Shoreline.
From Clackamas,
Lindsay Schiely and Tara Andrews
were selected to the All
Tournament Team. Schiely had 89
kills in 20 tournament games.
Andrews had 52 digs in 20 tourna
ment games.
“We played really well together
as a team,” said Woods. “We
stayed intense and focused the
entire tournament; I was really
pleased with that.”
On Oct. 29, the Cougars trav
eled to Salem to play against
Chemeketa CC. The Cougars out
played Chemeketa and won by
scores of 30-22, 26-30, 30-25, and
30-26. Ashley Cadotte had 17
kills, followed by Schiely with 13
kills. Justine Rhodes had eight
kills. Andrews had 47 assists.
“This was not that pretty of a
match. It was a win, but neither
team played well,” said Woods.
The Cougars are ranked number
one in the Northwest Athletic
Association
of
Community
Colleges’ (NWAA.CC) Coaches’
Poll. They are also in first place in
the NWAACC Southern Region
with a league record of 7-1.
“What’s most important is that
you are number one in league,”
said Woods.
“When you are
ranked number one, people defi
nitely want to upset you. Teams
we have come across are out to get
us; it has really helped us stay
focused. We know that every
match will be tough.”
On Nov. 7 the Cougars will play
their last home game of the year
against Southwestern Oregon CC
at 7 p.m. in the Clackamas gym. A
victory in this game will guarantee
Clackamas at least a share of the
Southern Region championship.
