Caldwell, ID - The College of Idaho volleyball team completed their third-straight undefeated Cascade Conference season with a 25-13, 25-9, 25-18 victory over Evergreen in the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
The No. 21 Lady Yotes (19-7, 16-2 CCC) won their 16th-straight league game this season and extended their home streak in CCC counters to 35 - dating back to the 2005 season.
Evergreen will have a long road trip home, having lost 5 away games in a row and remaining in the 11th and final position in the conference standings.
Set 1 saw the Coyotes bolt out to a 6-2 lead, only to watch the visiting Geoducks (1-22, 1-17) use an 8-1 push, aided by three C of I hitting errors to take a 10-7 edge. However, the hosts scored 17 of the next 18 points - including three kills from Megan Spinks and four kills from Naomi Reimer to take the frame.
Set 2 was all Yotes, using a 9-0 run to build a 14-3 lead - thanks to three spikes from Sarah Buhler to run away with the period, while Reimer had back-to-back aces in a six-point push in Set 3 to break open a 12-10 game to seal the win.
