Incoming freshman Tiffany Land comes to Corban after helping lead Santiam Christian High School to back-to-back Pac West League championships in '06 & '07.
Former Santiam Christian Standout Signs with Warriors
SALEM, Ore. -- Second-year head coach Heather Dunn announced today the signing of former Santiam Christian High School standout and 2007 3A first team all-state member Tiffany Land (Independence, Ore.) to a Letter of Intent for the upcoming 2008 season.
Land, who prepped at nearby Santiam Christian High School in Corvallis, comes to Corban with a wealth of experience as the 5-foot-10 middle blocker/outside hitter has been a part of back-to-back Pac West League championship squads with the Eagles.
"I am excited for the all-around character and athleticism that Tiffany is going to bring to our program," said Dunn. "Her experience playing with a winning program let's her know what it takes to go the extra mile, to be successful, and how to win."
In 2007, Land helped lead Santiam Christian to a 3rd place finish at the 3A state tournament that included victories over Reedsport and Creswell.
As an Eagle in 2007, Land recorded 134 kills, four assists, 54 service aces, 73 digs, and 58 blocks (34 solo, 24 assist) to close out her high school career.
Land finished second on the team in total kills and total points (234) in her final season, while leading the team in blocks and ranking third in service aces.
As a 2006 junior, Land was named All-Pac West honorable mention before earning 2nd team all-league honors and all-state recognition following her senior campaign.
Land joins former California Baptist University transfer Rachel Gowen (Oregon City, Ore.) as the first two official signees for next season.
The duo will join seven returning players that will look to improve from last season's 12-14 overall mark, as well as looking to better the team's 10-10 conference win-loss record that placed Corban fifth in the final standings.
