The Shoreline Community College Volleyball Team finished 3-2 at the NWAACC Crossover Tournament this past Friday-Saturday at Walla Walla Community College.

The Lady Dolphins opened the tournament’s pool play round of competition with a 2-0 (25-22, 25-21) win over Green River Community College, then the SCC squad dropped a tough 0-2 (25-27, 24-26) match to host Walla Walla CC and in the final match of pool play, SCC defeated Umpqua Community College 2-0 (25-19, 25-16).

Shoreline was the #2 seed from Pool 1 and faced #3 seed from Pool 2, Lower Columbia College, in the opening round of bracket play on Saturday morning.  The Dolphins came away with a highly competitive 5 set match win over the Red Devils 3-2 (20-25, 26-24, 23-25, 25-20, 15-10). The win moved SCC to the semi-finals of the tournament against Northern Region rival, Bellevue College. The Dolphins and the Bulldogs split to the first two sets of the match, but BC came on strong to defeat SCC in the next two sets to win the match 3-1 (17-25, 25-19, 16-25, 12-25). Shoreline finished the tournament tied for third place in the tournament.
