Western Nebraska cruises past Trinidad State
WNCC Sports Information
TRINIDAD, Colo. — The Western Nebraska Community College volleyball team finished the regular in impressive fashion Saturday, sweeping past Trinidad State Junior College 25-5, 25-18, 25-11. The win pushed the Cougars’ record to 53-3 overall. It’s the fifth straight year WNCC went undefeated in the South Sub-region with a 10-0 mark. The Cougars utilized their entire roster in getting the victory. In the first set, Gregner Quinones sparked the team with 14 points and eight aces.
WNCC assistant coach Nicole Gonzalez said WNCC’s serving was too much for the Trojans to handle.
“We served pretty tough,” she said. “Because of that serving, we didn’t get to hit as much because Trinidad had trouble passing.”
Quinones also led the team with eight digs, while Kaleinani Kabalis finished with seven digs.
Naomi Flinders was next in line in serving with six points and two aces. Flinders also had six set assists. Sabina Piegza had 21 set assists.
Gabriela Aviles paced the Cougars in hitting with eight kills, while Paulina Piegza had seven kills. Paulina Piegza also had two blocks, followed by Fatima Balza with two blocks and Gering’s Whitney Roth with a solo block.
WNCC will next be in action next week when it competes in the Region IX North tournament in Lamar, Colo. The Cougars will have a first-round bye and won’t play until Friday morning against the winner of a first-round contest. Pairings will be announced Monday. The winner of the regional tournament will qualify for the NJCAA national tournament in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Nov. 20-22.
