SALEM, Ore. – The No. 12-ranked Corban University volleyball team went to battle with Interstate-5 rival Northwest Christian University on Tuesday evening, downing the Beacons in four sets (25-23, 25-19, 22-25, 25-20).
With the win, the Warriors clinch their fourth-straight season with at least 15 wins in Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) play, something the team had not accomplished prior to 2016.
"I was proud of the team and how we came in focused tonight," said head coach Kim McLain. "We look forward to getting back in the gym to work on the little things."
It was an efficient offensive display for the Warriors, with the squad attacking above the .300 plateau in three of Tuesday's four sets.
Avari Ridgway served as the primary weapon in the triumph, notching a game-high 17 kills on a stellar .483 attacking clip.
Also impressive was Cassie Cunningham, who ended the night with 14 putaways (.323 attack percentage).
For the Beacons, Cam Lingenfelder led the charge, leading the team with 12 kills while hitting at an even .300 clip.
Defensively, Kealani Ontai once again starred for the Navy and Gold, racking up a match-best 23 digs. In addition, Makenna Campbell (11 digs) and Lauren Condon (10 digs) each finished in double-figures in the category.
Jadyn Mullen (27 assists) and Ciarra Judson (22 assists) shared the distributing duty, combining for 59 assists.
Just one regular-season match remains for the Warriors, who move to 18-7 overall (15-4 CCC) with the triumph. Corban will host Walla Walla University on Friday at 2 p.m., honoring the squad's two seniors—Adriana Aguayo and Condon—prior to first serve.
