CALDWELL, Idaho – On Friday evening in the Gem State, the No. 13-ranked Corban University volleyball team burst out of the gates against the home Coyotes of the College of Idaho. The Warriors hit their way to a 3-0 victory over the 'Yotes, as the Navy and Gold earned their tenth win of the campaign. The triumph marked the first time since 1998 that Corban has swept College of Idaho in Caldwell.

"I was proud of how the team played together as a unit tonight," said head coach Kim McLain. "We served tough and passed well. Our defense was relentless and would not give up."

Set two was more of a stalemate, as it remained tied at 10 through 20 points played. With a narrow 23-21 lead, Corban grabbed a point on an Ally Tow kill, then experienced good fortune on an attacking error by the Coyotes. The Navy and Gold snagged a 25-21 set triumph.
