Colorado Christian kicked off Saturday in style as they defeated Seattle Pacific University in straight sets, but fell short in the final game, as Concordia beat the Cougars in straight sets to finish off the Labor Day tournament in California. Kylee Wurster was named to the all-tournament team as CCU finished 2-2.
 
Game 1:
The first match of the day pitted the Cougs against Seattle Pacific University. The Christian squad made quick work of them as they won in straight sets. They sent a message in the first set winning 25-15, then kept the pressure on by winning 25-22 in the second, and finished them off 25-20 in the third.
 
Sophia Proano tied for the team lead in kills with 12, as she connected on 12 of her 24 chances to finish the game hitting an amazing .417%. Hope Baldrica also had a strong attack game going as she hit six of her eight chances to hit .625%. Kylee Wurster led the team in assists with 35, and also added two aces while she was serving.
 
Game 2:
CCU had to wait 12 hours before they played their second and final game of the tournament, and the time off may have been a factor as they were defeated in straight sets (25-20, 25-14, 25-19) at the hands of tournament host Concordia.
 
Sophia Proano did all she could to keep her team in the match as she finished the game hitting a stellar .524% with 13 kills on 24 chances, but it was not enough to overcome the strong play from Concordia.
 
The Cougars finish the Labor Day tournament going 2-2. They will return home briefly, before heading back out on the road for their next games. They will be heading to Stephenville, TX, to compete in the Tarleton State University Tournament which will be held on Friday and Saturday September 9-10^th.
