The WNCC volleyball team made school history in its match against Otero Junior College on the road. The Cougars earned an impressive 30-8, 30-9, 30-8 over the Rattlers, and it was the first time since rally scoring was started in the 2001 season that an opponent failed to score double-digits in all three games of a match. The 25 total points that the Cougars allowed is a school record for least points allowed in a 3 out of 5 match in rally scoring. The previous best was set in 2002 when McCook scored just 30 points on Sept. 12.
In fact, the Cougars win Saturday morning was a team effort as assistant coach Amy Winters said they played very well. Chelsea Lyles and Shawntell Jones paced the team with 10 kills each. Lyles also had two blocks, while Jones had three blocks. Jennifer Eichler finished with eight kills and four blocks, while Aida Bauza had nine blocks.
Also for the Cougars, Soriana Pacheco had seven aces, 22 points and 23 set assists, while Nayka Benitez had six aces and 16 digs.
The Cougars followed that contest up with another impressive win, downing Lamar Community College Saturday afternoon 30-18, 30-15, 30-12.
WNCC, now 46-2 on the season, will close out the regular season with a big match against Northeastern Junior College on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Sterling, Colo.
