LA GRANDE - The Mountaineer offensive
woes continued as Eastern Oregon (1-9, 0-2 CCC) miscues on serve
reception and attacks were no match for the taller and stronger
12th-ranked Southern Oregon squad, as Eastern drop in three straight
games, 14-30, 13-30, 15-30.
"Southern is a great team,"
said a dejected Mountaineer head coach Ryan Platt. "Right now, we're
struggling."
The Mountaineers have now dropped six
straight matches, and have been defeated in last their last 17
straight games.
Leading the Mountaineers was Misty
Jenkin (5-9, Sr., RS, Mattawa, Wash.) with six kills and Jamie
Russell (6-1, So., MB, Grangeville, Idaho) came off the bench with
five terminal attacks. Kaki McLean (5-10, Jr., OH, Paulina,
Ore.) once again led all Eastern players with 11 digs. McLean
also had a solo block.
For Southern, All-Everything Kristina
Matchett led all players with 14 kills, 12 digs, and two aces.
Southern as a team had 8 blocks with
Nicholette Le Bel leading everyone with five, including a solo block.
The road will not get easier, as the
Mountaineer will travel to Salem to face Western Baptist on Friday,
then saddle up and head to Portland on Saturday for a date with the
Concordia Cavaliers.
