Eagle losing streak continues
By Kennie Gable
The CSC volleyball team extended its losing streak to 10 games after another tough weekend at Colorado Mesa, Grand Junction, Colorado, and Westminster, Salt Lake City, Utah.
After winning five straight RMAC games early in September, the Eagles were excited to see what the rest of the season would hold for them. Unfortunately for them, the season has been nothing but disappointment after disappointment since then.
The team traveled to Grand Junction last Friday, Oct. 28, to play the Mavericks of Colorado Mesa.
They lost in yet another three-set sweep, being held to just 40 points in the entire match. In the second set, the team scored only eight points, the lowest score in any set this season. The team averaged 20 errors in the game and got aced eight times throughout the three sets.
The Eagles averaged 24 kills and 42 digs. The blocks were low on numbers with only three.
Alexia Hurtado, junior of Aurora, Colorado, was the leader in kills on Friday with eight and had one block out of the three.
Kiley West, freshman of Colorado Springs, Colorado, led the Eagles with 10 assists.
The team then traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, to play the Griffins of Westminster.
It was a closer game for the team, but it unfortunately ended in another three-set sweep for the Eagles.
The Eagles had another game with a lot of errors, averaging out to 16.
However, the team pulled out some good stats for the game. Chadron State had 34 kills, five aces, five blocks, 29 assists, and 41 digs.
Mayson Fago, sophomore of Evans, Colorado, the transfer from Northeastern Junior College, led the Eagles with 8 kills in the game.
Rylee Greiman, junior from Windsor, Colorado, had a good game with two aces and led the Eagles with 12 digs.
The team moves to 7-18 overall and 5-11 in the RMAC and moved down in the rankings to 11 out of 15 teams in the conference.
The volleyball team is playing their next game Friday, Nov. 4, in the Chicoine Center against the Hardrockers of South Dakota Mines.
