WNCC goes 4-0, wins Seward County Invite

The Western Nebraska Community College volleyball team put on a defensive clinic Saturday in the second day of the Seward County Invite in Liberal, Kan.

The Cougars finished with 98 digs in a three-game sweep of No. 7 University of Arkansas-Ft. Smith in the morning. Amy Winters said through a text message that they played great defense in the 30-21, 30-25, 30-22 win.

The team then claimed a huge four-game win over No. 9 Hutchinson Community College to finish the tournament undefeated. The Cougars won against the Blue Dragons 30-25, 26-30, 30-17, 30-18.

In the win against Fort Smith, the Cougars had five players with double figure digs led by Bianca Rivera with 24, followed by Leticia Kuhn with 23, Kendra Schauermann with 15, Soriana Pacheco with 13, Stacie Meisner with 11. Jenny Eichler also had six and Barbara Freitas had five in the huge win.

Kuhn also was the only player to finish with double figure kills, finishing with 11.

WNCC, 44-1 and winners of their last 35 straight matches, will more then likely retain their No. 1 ranking next week. Their next games are this weekend when they head to the southern Colorado sub-region road trip.
