CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Corban University volleyball team was named the Under Armour Team of the Week for Oct. 3-9, the Cascade Collegiate Conference announced Sunday.
The No. 5-ranked Warriors picked up two wins over the weekend to move back into a tie for first place in the CCC standings with a 12-1 conference record (19-2 overall). Corban also extended its winning streak to 12 consecutive matches.
On Friday, the Warriors defeated the College of Idaho 3-1 before taking on top-ranked Eastern Oregon University the next day. It took five sets, but the Warriors pulled off their first-ever win over a No. 1-ranked team, beating the Mounties 3-2 to snap their 19-match win streak. Rylee Troutman posted 24 kills in the five-set thriller to grab a new career high and is 11 kills away from the 300 mark for the season.
As a team, Corban leads the CCC in attacking percentage (.240), kills (1,015), kills per set (13.90), and assists per set (12.77), and ranks in the Top 5 for every other category.
The Warriors return home to host (RV) Bushnell University for a mid-week matchup, with first serve set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
