VOLLEYBALL:

The Warriors will kick off Frontier Conference play at home this week by taking on Carroll College and Rocky Mountain College at the Activity Center.

In the pre-determined format, LCSC will play the Nos. 1 and 2 ranked teams in the NAIA’s preseason poll. The Warriors will play four matches in the tournament, two on each day. Carroll was picked to finish second in the conference’s preseason poll, while Rocky Mountain was selected fifth.

The contests will provide a stiff challenge for the Warriors because Rocky Mountain (8-0) and Carroll (7-3) have the best records in the conference thus far. Rocky Mountain went 4-0 in the Holiday Inn Challenge at Lewiston in late August.

LCSC stands at 2-7 overall and enters play fairly fresh. The Warriors were off last weekend after going on perhaps the toughest road trip in program history, taking on three nationally ranked teams in a California tournament, including the top two NAIA teams in the country. 

GOLF: 

The Warriors are currently involved in their season opening tournament at Butte, Mont., which Montana Tech is serving as the host. The 72-hole tournament runs through Tuesday.

Both the men’s and women’s teams will head back to Montana next Sunday-Tuesday as well for the Carroll College Tournament in Helena.

Both tournaments count in the Frontier Conference overall standings to determine the conference champion. The Frontier Conference plays a fall and spring schedule because most Montana golf courses can’t open until late spring because of the weather. 

TENNIS: 

Although the Warriors don’t open the season until 2007, plenty of things are happening in the program.

One of the team’s major fundraisers is the 18^th annual Fazzari’s Tennis Championships, which will take place this weekend at the Clarkston High and LCSC Tennis Center courts. There are events for men, women and juniors at all levels of play in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. More information is available at http://www.lcsc.edu/tennis

The Warrior Tennis Club is looking for people who want to play on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8-10 p.m. at the indoor tennis courts. There is no fee and players from all levels of play are welcome. For more information on the Tennis Club, contact the LCSC Tennis Office at 792-2309 or e-mail tennis coach Kai Fong at kfong@lcsc.edu. 

FALL LUNCHEON: 

The Warrior Athletic Association will hold its annual Fall Sports Lunch on Sept. 18 at noon at the Williams Conference Center on the LCSC campus.

The lunch, which is sponsored by FirstBank, will feature coaches and athletes from the women’s volleyball team and the men’s and women’s cross country teams. Volleyball coach Erin Mellinger and cross country coach Mike Collins will talk about their seasons.

The cost of the lunch is $12 and reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made by calling the LCSC Athletic Development Office at 792-2692 or by e-mailing Cindi Durgan at cfdurgan@lcsc.edu.
