Twin Falls vs. Canyon Ridge No. 2 CSI has easy time with ‘SERVICE BOWL’ W. Wyo.

Times-News

Hours after being dropped to No. 2 in the national polls Tuesday, the College of Southern Idaho vol- leyball team left Rock Springs, Wyo., with a thoroughly dominant 25-14, 25-22, 25-21 victory over Western Wyoming College. The Golden Eagles (17-3) were able to substitute freely in the match, allowing only Samantha Misa to play all three sets on the floor. Misa fin- ished with nine kills and nine digs. CSI used the win as a bounce- back from Saturday’s defeat to North Idaho College, which ascended to the top of the poll for the first time in the program’s his- tory. Tuesday’s win served as a means for the Golden Eagles to answer the bell in the face of adversity. “It was good because it chal- DREW GODLESKI/For the Times-News lenged some people on our bench, MEAGAN THOMPSON/Times-News Twin Falls linebacker Brady Barton (94) looks up after recovering a fumble as and we’ve got to have the depth on Canyon Ridge linebacker Nick Kytle (35) holds up the football after getting a his teammates celebrate against Century Sept. 25 at Twin Falls. our team be able to compete so sack against Kimberly Sept. 25 in Twin Falls. that when we’re in pressure situa- tions they know how to cope,”said CSI head coach Heidi Cartisser. “We were down 18-22 in the sec- ond set and came back with some TFHS-CRHS rivarly name both understated, poignant of those depth players on the floor to win it with seven straight hen I traveled to Civil War’ and that, points, so that was a good thing to Idaho Falls two At Magicvalley.com because this is high see.” Wyears ago to school,”said Twin Falls See CSI, Sports 2 cover the Twin Falls foot- WATCH a special Service Bowl edition of the athletic director Mike ball team’s game at David Sports Blitz.
