CALDWELL, Idaho – For just the third time in program history, the No. 24-ranked Corban University volleyball team defeated the No. 12-ranked College of Idaho Yotes on the road in Idaho, winning in four sets (25-21, 17-25, 25-20, 25-20) on Saturday night. For the Warriors, the win snaps a 12-match home-winning streak for the Yotes dating back to last year in their home gym.

"I'm really proud of the way the team bounced back after a tough match last night," said Corban head coach Kim McLain. "We dug a hole early down 11-3 in set one, but the girls showed the resiliency they have displayed all season, coming back to win, 25-21! It was truly a team effort to be able to win 3-1 on the road against a great program like College of Idaho."

After falling behind 11-3 in that opening set, the Warriors bounced back in a big way, finishing strong to take the set-one triumph. In set two, the Yotes bounced back with a second-set win to level the contest at 1-1. From that point on, however, Corban used superior attacking and great defense en route to a pair of 25-20 set triumphs in the final two stanzas, resulting the in the win.

For the match, Corban hit for a .263 percentage, including marks of .333 in set three and .469 in set four.
