BOX SCORE

PORTLAND, Ore. – To open its next-to-last road trip of the regular season, Corban's women's volleyball team fell to the Cavaliers of Concordia in three sets (25-17, 25-15, 25-16) Friday inside Cavalier Gymnasium in the Rose City.

Sophomore Chandra Baskoro (Gresham, Ore.) and freshman Bailey Wold (Spokane, Wash.) made up the bulk of the Warriors offense, both registering seven kills respectively. Supporting the Warriors' offense was freshman Bethany Durre (Bend, Ore.) and sophomore Karisa Calderon (Murrieta, Calif.),as the duo combined for 22 digs on the night.

In a match that saw struggles on both sides of the ball, Corban never held a lead for the duration of play. Concordia opened Set #1 with a flurry of Raluca Dinca kills, handing the Warriors a 17-11 deficit. Senior Teri Braun (Dallas, Ore.) responded to the challenge and answered with a kill, pulling the Warriors to within striking distance (21-15). Baskoro added to the effort with three kills in the opening set, but could not hold off a Cavalier victory (25-17).

Set #2 saw a repeat of the Warriors struggles, as Concordia built an identical 17-11 lead coming by way of Mercedes Downer's successive kills. Dinca chipped in a team-game-high seven kills en route to closing out the Warriors, 25-15.

Corban found small windows of opportunity in the final game of the night, but failed to capitalize. Braun's fourth and final kill chipped away at yet another Concordia surge, 8-4. Calderon brought Corban to within two points (10-8) after her kill fell to the floor, bringing the Warriors back into the match. Costly errors and Dinca's play at the net were to much for the Warriors, as Concorida exploded for a 14-4 run to end the game and match (25-16.)

Concordia was led by Dinca's play, as she collected a match-high 19 kills. Sara Harper led Concordia's defense with 10 digs to go along Lindsay Mangan's 42 assists.

With tonight's loss, Corban drops to 8-8 overall and 6-8 in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. Meanwhile, Concordia improves to 15-7 overall and 10-3 in league play. The Warriors will return to the court on tomorrow night, October 23th, against Warner Pacific beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Portland.
