The Vikings Katie Demarest spikes a kills shot for a score against the Timberwolves.
MOSES LAKE - Big Bend Community College volleyball was hoping to get back on the winning track last night as the Vikings hosted Blue Mountain Community College.
But the Timberwolves played an uncooperative opponent as the visitors from Pendleton turned back BBCC in three sets (25-12, 25-11, 25-17).
"I thought the girls played well against the No. 1 team in our region," coach Natalie Coulston said. "I feel like we've taken a step forward in the program and hope we continue to improve."
Blue Mountain is undefeated (5-0) in league play and is tied for first with Walla Walla in the NWACC East standings.
The loss for the Vikings drops their record to 1-4 in conference play and 2-14 overall and lands BBCC in a tie for fifth place with Columbia Basin Community College.
Katie Reeder led the attack for the Vikings with seven kills. Kayla Curtsinger added five kills, Katie Demarest had three kills and McKall Miller and Brooke Brown finished with two kills each. BBCC had 11 blocks for the match.
The Vikings are back on the court Friday when the team travels to Wenatchee Valley Community College to match up against the Knights.
"Wenatchee is a good team and is currently in third place in the standings," Coulston said. "But I think we'll be going into the game with a lot of confidence and will be ready to play."

“There are six conference rooms at city hall, and I never get them straight, so I thought a great way to do it, was to name one of them after Ron Edinger because of all his service to the city and our community, which is vast,” Gookin said. “So, I talked to Nancy and asked if it would be okay with me dedicating a conference room after Ron, and she's like, 'oh, absolutely.’”
