BOX SCORE

SALEM, Ore. – Junior Tiffany Land (Independence, Ore.) recorded a match-high kill total for the second straight night in helping lead Corban's women's volleyball team to a three-set sweep over the visiting Knights of Warner Pacific Friday inside the C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.

The third-year Warrior recorded a match-high 11 kills to go along with sophomore Chandra Baskoro (Gresham, Ore.) and Jenny Harman (Salem, Ore.), who tallied 9 and 7 kills respectively in helping lead the Warriors to a 3-0 (25-10, 25-22, 25-11) win over Warner Pacific. Junior Megan Dees (Tehachapi, Calif.) would lead Corban's offense with a match-high 18 assists, while freshman libero Bethany Durre (Bend, Ore.) registered a team-high 13 digs defensively for the Warriors. At the net, Land would lead the Warriors with a match-high five blocks to go along with a pair of service aces by Baskoro and freshman Bailey Wold (Spokane, Wash.).

Set #1 was controlled by Corban, as the Warriors tallied 16 combined kills on 30 swings with a mere five attack errors. On the other hand, Warner Pacific barely cracked the double-digit point total as the Knights were only able to muster three combined kills on 32 swings with eight attack errors. Following a 3-3 tie, Corban used an 8-0 run en route to securing complete control of the set and increased its lead to as much as 14 points (23-9) before settling for the 15-point win (25-10) after a set-closing kill by Wold.

The middle set was a battle throughout, as Warner Pacific built a four-point lead (13-9) before Corban used a 5-1 run en route to tying the score at 14-14 after a solo block by Land. The visiting Knights would push their lead back to three points (17-14) after a Jaclyn Chew-Dorsey kill. Following a Warrior timeout, Corban used a set-closing 11-5 run that was capped by back-to-back kills from senior Teri Braun (Dallas, Ore.) and Baskoro.

Set #3 was once again controlled by Corban, as the Warriors quickly built an 11-point lead (19-8) after back-to-back service aces by Wold. Warner Pacific would look for a little break via a timeout, but the Knights could not find any breathing room thanks to Corban's set and match-closing 6-3 run that concluded with another kill by Land.

Warner Pacific was led offensively by Rachel Warick, who tallied seven kills to go along with Emily Damschen and Chew-Dorsey's three kills each. The Knights' Whitney Valenta would handed out a team-high nine assists, while Sam Kolakowski registered a match-high 15 digs from her back row position.

With tonight's win, Corban improves to 6-4 overall and evens its Cascade Collegiate Conference record at 4-4. Meanwhile, Warner Pacific falls to 3-11 overall and 1-7 in league play. The Warriors will return to the court tomorrow night – Saturday, October 2nd – against conference rival Concordia beginning at 7:00 p.m. inside the C.E. Jeffers Sports Center.
