The Lewis-Clark State College women’s volleyball team moved one step closer to clinching the Frontier Conference’s regular season crown with its win over Rocky Mountain College on Friday night at the LCSC Activity Center. The Warriors won the match in four games 30-23, 25-30, 30-22, 30-17. 

“We did some things well, but we still have room for improvement... Overall all though, Rocky is a really good team, and we’re glad to get the win,” Warrior Head Coach Jen Greeny explained after the match.  

Rocky Mountain was able to pull off a victory against L-C in Billings, Montana on September 27, but LCSC’s offense proved to be too much for them on Friday night. The Warriors saw five players with nine or more kills. Leading the way were Anile Clemente who had 15 kills with a .448 hitting percentage, Cintia Alessi with 14 kills and 15 digs, Dana Christiansen with 12, and Julie Maciboba who had 11 kills and a .450 hitting percentage.   

Maciboba also had 6 service aces, as the Warriors out-served Rocky 12 aces to 6. Lisa Davis and Kim Fong recorded 32 and 20 assists respectively.  

With the win LCSC moves to 15-5 on the season and 9-2 in conference play, while Rocky falls to 13-13 overall and 8-4 in the conference. With only three matches left, the Warriors are just three wins away from claiming their first regular season conference title since 2001. 

The Warriors look to maintain their perfect 6-0 record at home and their spot on top of the Frontier Conference standings when they take on Carroll College in their final home match of the season on Sunday. The match begins at noon and will feature a tribute to LCSC’s seniors, Marie Balmer and Brittney Kubik.
