Coachs Remarks
"Good CCIW win on the road!  Our pin hitters had a good night on offense and defensively we got some big digs and timely blocks. We were down in set two and had to dig deep to pull out the set.  It was a very good team win!! We look forward to Friday night at home and celebrating our seniors!"


Team Results
  • It's a quick turnaround for the Firebirds as they return home on Friday, November 1 for Senior Day starting at 7 p.m. against Wisconsin-La Crosse.
