08-30-08
PORTLAND, Ore. -- The
Lewis-Clark State
College women's
volleyball team capture
its second straight
tournament title after
winning two matches in
the Cavalier
Invitational tournament
at Concordia University
on Saturday.
The Warriors, ranked No.
16 in the NAIA, finished
the five-team
round-robin tournament
with a 4-0 record after
defeating Northwest
University of Kirkland,
Was., 25-15, 25-7,
25-15, and then
finishing play by
dumping fellow Frontier
Conference foe Montanan
State-Northern 25-15,
25-7, 25-15 to complete
tournament play.
The two victories lift
LCSC to 8-0 on the
season and seven of the
victories have come in
straight sets.
Junior Anile Clemente,
who earned third-team
NAIA All America status
last year, was chosen
the tournament's MVP,
while Warrior senior
libero Lindsay Scott
also was selected to the
all-tournament team.
In Saturday's win over
Northwest, the Warriors'
second win over
Northwest this season,
Clemente led the way
with 13 kills, while
Julie Maciboba added 10
kills and Lauryn Herrick
added eight. Katie
Hinrichs had 11 digs,
while Lisa Davis had 19
assists. The Warriors
also had five service
aces in the match.
"We were able to play a
lot of people and did a
nice job of competing,"
LCSC coach Jen Greeny
said. "We were able to
take a lot of things
from this weekend and
build upon them."
In their first match
against a conference
team this season, the
Warriors were able to
take control early and
roll over MSU-Northern.
The Warriors emptied the
bench early in the match
and were led by Dana
Christiansen's eight
kills. Scott added 11
digs as the Warriors
were never threatened in
the match.
"We did a good job today
of carrying out what we
wanted to do and taking
care of business,"
Greeny said.
The Warriors will take
part in their third
straight tournament next
weekend when they head
to Spokane for the
Whitworth Invitational.
The five team
round-robin tournament
begins on Friday and
LCSC will face Menlo
College at 11 a.m. and
Whitman at 5 p.m. On
Saturday, LCSC faces
Montana-Western at 2
p.m., and host Whitworth
at 6 p.m.
