The fifth-ranked Cougars, 27-3, enter the contest riding an 8-game winning streak after capturing the Ozfest Invitational with wins against Redlands, Lamar, Seward County and Midland College.
WNCC coach Giovana Melo said the areas they need to work on when they face the Lancers is serving and passing.
“We need to work on serving and passing because I thought our hitting and blocking were really good this past weekend,” Melo said. “Our serving and passing broke down a bit.”
The Lancers enter the match with a 14-15 record, having split a pair of weekend sub-region contests against Central Wyoming and Northwest College. Before that, though, the Lancers won three straight matches, including a five-set win against Division II ranked North Platte Community College and then a five-set, sub-region win against Sheridan College.
Melo said the Lancers have plenty of talent and her team cannot overlook them.
“They are scrappy and they have improved a lot since the last time we played them,” she said. “EWC has been playing well and they always come with hunger while playing at Cougar Palace against us.”
The Highway 26 match-up will also feature a high school contest beforehand. Lingle-Ft. Laramie and Leyton will play before the Cougars and Lancers hit the floor. The high school varsity match is slated for a 5:30 p.m. start, with junior varsity action starting at 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday’s action will also be dorm parent appreciation night as WNCC will recognize all the volleyball dorm parents.
