Bushnell University

ASHLAND, Ore. – The No. 25-ranked Bushnell volleyball team finished the regular season in a fifth-place tie and will be forced to host a Cascade Conference tournament play-in game as they were swept by Southern Oregon University in the regular season finale on Saturday, 25-16, 25-14, 25-21.
 
The Beacons end the regular season at 17-10 and 12-8 in the CCC and tie with Lewis-Clark State for fifth-place. Southern Oregon (21-9, 13-7) rose into sole possession of fourth-place and earn a bye into the conference quarterfinals on Thursday.
 
It was an uncharacteristically difficult night for the Beacons offensively as they hit .057 with 17 unforced errors. Amyah Semau led the team with ten kills. The silver lining was a big night at the net where Bushnell out-blocked the Raiders 11-6. Soliel Sands accounted for nine of those blocks with one solo and eight assisted efforts.
 
Emma Fa'alogo earned 14 assists and nine digs in the loss while Chloe Farr posted a match-high 13 digs.
 
The Raiders were led by Friley Curtiss, collecting 11 kills while Duda Leite and Briella Mathis earned nine kills apiece.
 
UP NEXT: The Beacons lost the tie-breaker with Lewis-Clark State for the fifth seed, and come home Tuesday with a No. 6 seed to play host to No. 7 seed Oregon Tech in a CCC tournament opening round game at 6:00 pm. The winner advances to the CCC quarterfinals, which will be hosted by the regular season champion determined later on Saturday night.
