MCCOOK, Nebraska – The Durham College women's volleyball team played their second match of their Nebraska trip on Thursday, falling in straight sets to the Western Nebraska Cougars.
Set scores against the Cougars were 20-25, 14-25 and 19-25.
"We're here to learn and experiment against some talented teams," said head coach
Tony Clarke. "Obviously you want to have positive results at the end of the match, but we're growing as a squad during our time here. The next few days will help us come closer together off the court and show us what we need to build on on the court."
Over the next two days in the U.S. the Lords will play four matches.
The Lords travel to North Platte, Nebraska on Friday where they will be taking part in a tournament of games. They open play against the Eastern Wyoming Lancers and for a second time their training partners throughout the trip, the McCook Indians. Founded in 1948, Eastern Wyoming College is another NJCAA school, and a school trying to rise the ranks of NJCAA volleyball.
Durham closes out their Nebraska trip on Aug. 24, completing a second doubleheader against two more historic NJCAA schools. The Lords will be challenged by a rebuilding Garden City Broncbusters team that finished the 2018-19 season without a single win, before coming up against the host North Platte Knights, who finished middle of the pack last season with a 17-21 record.
Overall Record: 0-2
Conference Record: 0-0
Next match: Friday, Aug. 23 @ Eastern Wyoming Lancers (6 p.m. EST)
