volleyball match
8-21-06 

Led by some strong performances during some key moments, the Lewis-Clark State College women’s volleyball team used a strong team effort to defeat an alumni team 30-22, 30-19, 18-30, 32-30 in an exhibition match at the LCSC Activity Center Saturday afternoon. 

The Warriors had seven players made their debut in an LCSC uniform, including five freshmen, and all had their moments against a team of former Warrior players and coaches from the past 15 years. 

“We got to look at a couple of different lineups and we saw some good things so that’s exciting,” said LCSC second-year coach Erin Mellinger. “We saw what our strengths and weaknesses are and we’ve got some things we need to work on.” 

The Warriors open the season Thursday night at home against Oregon Tech. The nonleague match will start at 7 p.m. at the LCSC Activity Center. On Friday and Saturday, the Warriors will play host to the eight-team Holiday Inn Region I Challenge, which involves four teams from each the Frontier and Cascade conferences. Each team will play the four teams not from its conference in round-robin play.
