GAME RECAP – C OF I 3, EVERGREEN 0: Kylie Porter had a match high 14 kills leading the C of I to a 25-19, 25-19, 28-26 victory Friday night over the Evergreen State College inside the J.A. Albertson Activities Center. The Lady Yotes won for the eighth time in nine matches, remaining unbeaten at home all-time against the Geoducks. Evergreen scored the first four points of the match, including back-to-back Jaclyn Trinque aces, but the hosts used a 12-3 surge – including two kills each from Porter and Janessa Koelliker (Kaysville, Utah / Salt Lake CC), to take command of the set. C of I trailed 8-7 in Set 2, but two Koelliker kills and a pair of spikes from Emily Ottinger helped the Yotes rattle off seven straight points to grab the two sets to none lead. The Geoducks fought hard in Set 3, rallying from a 19-16 deficit behind three Nicole Diehl kills, to earn set point at 24-22. A pair of Porter kills got the Yotes even, with back-to-back ESC errors ending the match. Porter had just two hitting errors in 20 swings, with her .600 attack percentage the best of the season for the Yotes. Ottinger had 12 kills, with Bailee Kendall (Mount Pleasant, Utah / Salt Lake CC) adding eight kills and Koelliker five. Setter Sierra Porter had a three-set season-high of 43 assists and five kills, with Kilee Lopez leading C of I with 18 digs. Nicole Pittelkau led the Geoducks with 12 kills, with Diehl adding 11 kills and two blocks. Trinque had 35 assists and Natimia Barker-Doss had 18 digs.

GAME RECAP – C OF I 3, NORTHWEST 2: A near triple-double by Sierra Porter fueled a big C of I rally, as the Lady Yotes battled back from a two-set deficit to defeat Northwest University on Saturday night, 17-25, 21-25, 25-13, 25-14, 15-11 inside the J.A. Albertson Activities Center. It wasn't easy; however, as the Eagles dominated the opening two sets and were poised for their first win in Caldwell since 2005 – forcing 18 C of I hitting errors in the first two frames. In Set 1, a 6-0 surge – helped by two Rae Ann Hastings kills and two Leia Roy aces – erased an 11-10 C of I lead, as NU cruised to the win. The Eagles never trailed in Set 2, as a Hastings kill broke a 12-12 tie, with a Mattie Joe Johnson kill and block extended the visitors lead to 21-15, a margin they would not relinquish. C of I found their rhythm in Set 3, using a 9-2 push early in the frame to grab a 10-5 lead and never looke d back. Another big run in Set 4, as the Yotes scored 13-of-15 points to open up a 19-10 lead to force the winner-take-all run to 15. Two Emily Ottinger kills gave the Yotes an 8-5 lead at the change-over, but a Roy ace got NU back within a point. However, two Ottinger kills and two smashes by Kylie Porter closed out the victory for C of I. Sierra Porter had nine kills, 44 assists, 20 digs, and six blocks for the Yotes, with Kylie Porter adding 17 kills and a team-high seven blocks. Ottinger had 14 kills and four blocks, while five C of I players had 10-or-more digs, led by 22 from Kilee Lopez. Dakota Adams led NU with 12 kills, with Hastings adding 11 kills and two blocks and Johnson recording nine kills and six blocks. Setter Morgan Pilon had 26 assists and Roy had 22 digs in the loss.
