LAKEWOOD, Wash. – Linn-Benton volleyball completed their undefeated season with their third straight NWAC Championship in a win against North Idaho College on Sunday, Nov. 19.

The Roadrunners finished their season with a perfect 36-0 overall record. North Idaho will finish 32-2 with their only two losses coming against LBCC.

North Idaho came out ready for the challenge and would take the first set 25-22. After a quick reset, the Beaks rallied and took the next three sets in a row, winning them with scores of 25-16, 25-19, and 25-12, respectively.

“We were pretty nervous right at the start, after that first loss, they just gathered themselves up, I said my usual stuff and they decided,” said Roadrunners head coach Jayme Frazier after the game.

Freshman Brooklyn Willard led the team and set her season high with 19 kills. Sophomore outsider hitter Grace Boeder collected 10 kills, four digs, an ace, and after the game was awarded the Tournament MVP award.

Freshmen Maddy Hellem and Grace Luttrell received first team all-tournament honors, and freshman Kinsey Brelage was awarded second team honors.
