VOLLEYBALL SPLITS FOR THE WEEK!
October 21, 2008

It was a match up of two 4-1 teams that decided who would keep pace with Edmonds for first place. The Bulldogs jumped out and showed the Orcas that they meant business in game one winning 25-20, but then the Orcas used their size advantage at the net, winning the next three straight games to take the match 3-1. The loss put the Bulldogs (4-2) into third place in the North Division.

The Bulldogs (4-2) took out their frustrations of Monday’s loss on the Olympic Rangers October 15 by sweeping them at Olympic 3-0. This match was a great opportunity for the Bulldogs to get back on the winning track as well as get all 11 players playing time.

The weekend gave the Bulldogs a chance to travel to Salem, Oregon, to participate in the Chemeketa Crossover Tournament. This was an opportunity for the Bulldogs to work out some of the kinks before returning to league play. BCC advanced all the way to the Championship match against host Chemeketa CC (35-0), but eventually lost (26-28, 19-25, 22-25.

VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS PLAYER HONORS!
October 13, 2008

North Division Players of the Week awards all went to the Bulldogs. Offensive Player of the Week is Savannah Feist (voted Player of the Week three times in five weeks). Defensive Player of the Week is Patti Reeves and the Setter of the Week (voted on only twice a season) is Juleea Perez.

The Bulldogs (4-1) dropped their first division match to Edmonds CC (5-0) on October 8th (19-25, 19-25, 23-25) to fall to second place, one game behind the Tritons. The Bulldogs played well throughout most of the match, but down the stretch of all three games, Edmonds’ sophomore leadership was too much for the young and growing Bulldogs.

Cheer on the Bulldogs as they host the Whatcom Orcas, Monday October 13th at 7:00pm in the BCC Gymnasium.

Freshman Megan Robinson

VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS FIRST DIVISION MATCH!
September 30, 2008

The Bulldogs jumped on the Rangers early and never let up. Behind the 21 kills and seven aces of Savannah Feist and the 30 assists of Juleea Perez, the Bulldogs swept the Rangers to open up their North Division League schedule.

With the sweep of the Rangers, BCC outside hitter Savannah Feist was named North Division Player of the Week. Feist was also the NWAACC Player of the Week in week one of the season. “Savannah continues to be a powerhouse for the BCC team. She was completely unstoppable in the Olympic game, hitting an amazing .625 (32 attempts and 1 error). She made great decisions with the shots that she made, varying them based on the defense. She also stepped up her serving, aggressively achieving 7 aces,” says Kim Werkau, BCC Volleyball Coach.

This week the Bulldogs play host to the Cardinals of Skagit Valley College on Wednesday, October 1 at 7:00pm in the BCC Gymnasium. On Friday, October 3, they travel to Shoreline to take on the Dolphins at 7:00pm.

VOLLEYBALL SPLITS IN ITS OWN TOURNAMENT!
September 23, 2008

Bulldogs lose another close match on September 15 at Pierce College  (9-6) in five games. The Bulldogs (7-10) again looked good early jumping out two games to none, but then dropped the next three to lose the match. This has been the story of their season so far they play well early and then struggle to finish teams off. Coach Werkau definitely feels that as the season goes on the team (three sophomores & eight freshmen) will bond together more and become a much stronger force to deal with.

Bulldogs hosted a tournament September 19 & 20 at the BCC Gymnasium with three of the four division leading teams in the field. BCC ended up splitting their six matches with wins over Columbia Basin, Highline and Linn-Benton and loses to Chemeketa, Clark and Spokane. Chemeketa came into the tournament 26-0 on the season and finish the  tournament going 6-0.

This week will be the start of the North Division league schedule for the Bulldogs as they will host Olympic College on Wednesday, September 24 at 7:00pm in the BCC Gymnasium.
