Warriors Volleyball Ready for Action at Highline Crossover

Walla Walla, WA - After a busy preseason in the month of August, the Walla Walla Community College Volleyball team has one final tune-up before NWAC East action begins on September 19th. The Warriors, who currently sit at 5-3 overall on the season, opened up their year traveling to Big Bend for a tournament where they walked away with two wins and two losses. Both wins came in straight sets, the first over host Big Bend before also defeating Wenatchee Valley. A tough five set loss to Skagit Valley in the final match of the weekend resulted in a 2-2 record for the tournament.

The Warriors women then played host to seven other NWAC schools for their own tournament hosted at the Dietrich Dome on the campus of Walla Walla Community College. Walla Walla was dominant, earning three more wins over Umpqua, Lane, and Chemeketa, all in straight sets. Their lone loss came at the hands of Green River College who was able to win the fourth and fifth sets to take the match.

What's next?

This week the Warriors Volleyball team heads west of the Cascade Mountains for the Highline Crossover, hosted by Highline College in Des Moines, WA. The action begins Friday afternoon with the Warriors facing off against Rogue Community College and Tacoma Community College. The second day of the event pits the Warriors against Shoreline Community College, and then Big Bend Community College in a rematch from earlier this season. NWAC East play will officially open on September 19th when the Warriors travel to the Tri-Cities to take on Columbia Basin.
