Azusa Pacific L 3-0 CLASH OF TITANS IN CALDWELL: To say that Friday’s Cascade Conference match-up between 9/3 * NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN W 3-0 the Lady Yotes and Southern Oregon is huge – might be an understatement. The two schools have 9/4 * CORBAN W 3-0 combined to win the last seven CCC titles and are the only two CCC schools to advance to the NAIA 9/10 * Oregon Tech W 3-0 National Tournament in the last decade (SOU in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009; C of I in 2005, 2006, 2008, 9/11 * Southern Oregon L 3-0 2009) – with the sides combining for a 241-68 record (C of I 127-33, SOU 114-35) over the last five years, including a 171-17 record in the CCC (C of I 86-8, SOU 85-9). 9/17 * WARNER PACIFIC W 3-0 9/18 * CONCORDIA W 3-0 BEST VOLLEYBALL RIVALRY IN NORTHWEST?: The Lady Yote-Raider volleyball match has been 9/21 Northwest Nazarene W 3-0 one of the top tickets in small-college volleyball in the Northwest, as evident by the over 1,000 fans that 9/24 * EASTERN OREGON W 3-2 have watched the match in Ashland, and the over 500 fans that have witnessed the last four meetings in 10/1 * Northwest W 3-1 Caldwell. Winning on the others’ home court has been a tough thing for the opposition, as The C of I last won a match at McNeal Pavilion (SOU’s home) in 2006, while Southern has not defeated the Yotes in 10/2 * Evergreen State W 3-0 Caldwell since 2005 – including playoff losses in 2006, 2008, and 2009. 10/8 * SOUTHERN OREGON 7 p.m. 10/9 * OREGON TECH 7 p.m. TITLE HOPES REST WITH WIN: If the Coyotes are to contend for their fifth-straight CCC title, a 10/15 * Corban 7 p.m. PT victory is imperative on Friday night – with a straight-set win even more important. The C of I currently sits a game back of Southern in the loop standings – the difference, SOU’s three-set sweep of the Lady 10/16 * Northwest Christian 7 p.m. PT Yotes in September. A win by The C of I would tie the two teams in the standings, however, if the 10/19 NORTHWEST NAZARENE 7 p.m. Coyotes do not win in three sets, Southern would claim all tiebreakers in the event of a tie in the standings 10/22 * EVERGREEN STATE 7 p.m. – as the third tie-break is sets won among tied teams. If the Coyote do win in three, the next tiebreak 10/23 * NORTHWEST 7 p.m. would be sets won vs. sets lost among all CCC teams (SOU currently holds a four-set edge in the 10/29 * Eastern Oregon 7 p.m. PT category). 11/5 * Concordia 7 p.m. PT THE HIGH-FLYING RAIDERS: Southern (12-2, 9-0 CCC) is a potent team, led by All-America setter 11/6 * Warner Pacific 7 p.m. PT Lindsey Stone (10.49 a/s, 1.54 d/s), the CCC’s leader in assists. Josh Rohlfing’s bunch has a multi-faced 11/9 CCC Tournament (Qtrs) TBA attack, paced by Sarah Holgen (3.91 k/s, 2.93 d/s, .265 attack percentage), the CCC’s leading hiter, blocker Megan Bartling (2.70 k/s, 1.07 b/s, .308 attack percentage), and outside hitter Leanne Stennett (2.31 k/s, 11/12-13 CCC Tournament (Finals) TBA 11/20 NAIA Opening Round TBA 3.55 d/s). It is the 75th meeting between the teams, with the Raiders holding a 55-19 all-time series edge. 11/30-12/4 NAIA Tournament TBA CAN THE WIN STREAK REACH 50?: On the line Friday night is the Lady Yotes 49-match Home Games in Bold and CAPS conference home win streak – a record that stretches back to the 2005 season. In 2009, The C of I ! NAIA Tournament of Champions notched their fourth-straight perfect season in conference play at home – having not lost a league tilt at * Cascade Conference Match home since September of 2005, recording an undefeated mark at home each of the last three seasons (9-0 in 2006 and 2009 and 10-0 in both 2007 and 2008).
