LCSC women’s volleyball team climbs to No. 3 in Region I rankings

10-22-07

The Lewis-Clark State College women’s volleyball team achieved another milestone this season when it was ranked No. 3 in the Region I standings on Monday. 

The Warriors, who were picked to finish sixth in the eight-team Frontier Conference, are in a three-way tie for the league lead with Westminster and Montana Tech at 8-2. The Warriors, ranked No. 28 in the country last week, are 14-5 overall. 

“Being ranked third in our region is great for our program,” Greeny says.  “It means we are heading in the direction we need to go to bring this program back to the tradition of excellence we expect.  Our players are working hard but know we are not finished and still have some very tough matches ahead.”

The Warriors control their own destiny, based on sweeping Westminster this season and holding the tiebreaking edge. LCSC also closes out the season against Montana Tech so if the Warriors win their final four matches, they will win the regular season conference title and be the top seed for the conference tournament, which will be held in Billings in November. 

The Warriors wrap up the home portion of the schedule this week, taking on Rocky Mountain on Friday at 7 p.m., and then play host to Carroll College at noon on Sunday.
