When the Clackamas volleyball team
takes the floor the NWAACC knows
what’s up.
The Cougar volleybailers were able to
pull off their second consecutive tourna
ment victory last weekend winning the
Walla Walla CC Crossover Tournament.
The Cougars dismantled die Linn-Benton
Roadrunners last Saturday in the tourna
ment’s championship game by scores of
30-23, 30-26, 30-20.
“Two big tournament victories in two
weeks,” Head Coach Kathie Woods said.
“This is really huge.”
The Cougars have now won first place
in all three season tournaments they have
participated in this year.
“I have never had a team win three
tournaments in one year,” Woods said.
“To win those three tournaments really
says a lot about this team.”
En route to the championship game
the Cougars also rode rough on
Columbia Basin CC, beating them in the
semifinal game by scores of 33-31, 30-
24,30-26.
In pool play, on last Friday night, the
Cougars took out Treasure Valley CC.
They then moved on and lost a heart
breaker to Walla-Walla CC. The Cougars
got back on their grind in their next
match and dug out Grays Harbor CC.
This win sent the Cougars into
Saturday’s bracket play.
Three Cougar volleyballers were lift
ed to. Chuck Taylor status; Lindsey
Girod-Burgess, Brianna McLeod and
Jessica Heidenreich all made the tourna
ment all-star list. Heidenreich was given
the MVP status for her outstanding per
formance. The rest of the team added the
extra punch needed to bang out the tour
nament competition.
The volleyballers were also able to
post some impressive individual statisti
cal numbers in the tournament. Girod-
Burgess busted out with 94 digs and nine
aces, Heidenreich was an offensive gang
ster adding 53 kills, McLeod set the jump
off with a team leading 66 kills; she also
added 84 digs. Samantha Hennessy
flipped the script on the competition with
51 kills.
The Cougars are still ranked No. 1 in
the NWAACC with a league record of
10-1 and an overall record of 37-9. They
hold the No.l spot in the Southern
Region and currently hold the Southern
Region title.
“This team is definitely making a
statement,” Woods said.
Tonight the Cougars will take on the
Mt. Hood CC Saints at 7 p.m. in
Gresham.
“We’ll be playing our rival ... it’s a
pride match and we would love to go out
and win,” Woods said.
