Don't forget the banquet is tomorrow (Thursday) in the commons at 6pm.

Whitworth Beats Concordia-Moorhead

Whitworth University swept Concordia-Moorhead, 27-25, 26-25, 25-20, to advance in the NCAA D-III Volleyball Championships. They will face the winner of the St, Olaf-Northwestern match tomorrow at 1:30pm Pacific in St. Paul, MN. The match will be webcast on www.mnsportsnetwork.com

Tryout Times Changed

Pacific Coast VBA and Lake Tapps have changed the times for their 15/16 tryouts. Be sure to check the club's website to double check any tryout time as they may change from what we have posted.

We have also added tryout times for NW Junior's Kent teams. The teams will practice in Kent, but their tryouts are up at Juanita HS in Kirkland.

Banquet Date Changed

The volleyball banquet will be held on Thursday, November 18th. Details to follow.

Marburger Selected to All-SPSL Team

Kentlake libero Miranda Marburger was selected to the Honorable Mention All-SPSL North team. Congratulations to Miranda.

Whitworth Off to Minnesota

In a totally unexpected turn of events, Whitworth is off to St. Paul, MN to play Concordia-Moorhead in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday. As a result the "national" tournament has no regional sites west of I-35 (runs from Minneapolis to San Antonio).

Banquet Date Set

The Kentlake Volleyball Banquet will be next Tuesday, November 16th, at 6pm in the Kentlake Commons. Details will be announced later.

Whitworth Wins Northwest Conference Championship

Whitworth University, with former Kentlake star Kathy Taylor, swept Willamette University and Lewis & Clark College this weekend to win the Northwest Conference championship outright. Whitworth finished 14-2 in conference, one match ahead of PLU and UPS. Whitworth automatically qualifies for the NCAA Tournament with the victory.

With Whitworth, PLU and UPS all likely to be in the tournament, it is a distinct possibility that the West Regional will be in Tacoma starting either Thursday or Friday.

Whitworth Flying High

Whitworth University, with former Kentlake MB Kathy Taylor is in 1st Place in the Northwest Conference, tied with the University of Puget Sound. UPS must still play perennial power PLU next week. Whitworth is on track for their first post-season invitation since 2005.

Wreath Reminder

All of the teams are reminded to get their wreath orders in by Monday, November 1st. You can give them to Megan Hartnett or you can drop them by the Hartnett's house. Email Donna Hartnett at donna.m.hartnett "at" boeing "dot" "com" for their address. They live in Winterwood.
