Win Streak Continues for Back-to-Back Conference Champs

The College of the Canyons volleyball team captured its third straight sweep and a school record 15th straight win overall with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-17) victory against Bakersfield College on Friday.

Leading the way with 16 kills was sophomore outside hitter Serena LeDuff, who contributed seven digs as well for a Cougars team that hasn't fallen to an opponent since Sept. 13.

Middle Blocker Kaitlyn Reiner added 10.5 points for COC by way of nine kills and six digs, while Taylor Kasha contributed an impressive total of 39 assists from the setter position.

Outside hitter Lauren Underwood (seven kills) also played well for the Cougars, while freshman Erica Magee chipped in with seven points on seven kills.

Lastly, Brooke Garelick's 13 kills and eight digs lifted her to a total of 15.5 points on Friday.

Regardless of what happens during COC's next contest against Antelope Valley on Wednesday, the team will finish 2014 as the WSC South Champions.

The Cougars are also assured a spot in the 2014 CCCAA Women's Volleyball SoCal Regionals, which begin Nov. 25.

After beginning the year with a 1-2 record, on Wednesday Canyons will have a chance to grab its 20th win of the season, and keep its perfect conference record intact.

On the year, the Cougars are 8-1 at home, 9-1 on the road and 2-1 at neutral venues.

Canyons will host its final regular season home game — and sophomore night ceremonies — at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, as the Cougars host Antelope Valley College.
