Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 | Box Score 4 The Lower Columbia volleyball team needed a wake up call at the NWAC Fall Festival.

The Clark Penguins defeated the Red Devils 2-0 in the tourney opener.  That loss awakened the Devils who then rattled off five straight wins in the upper level bracket of the event in Eugene-Springfield, OR Saturday and Sunday August 26-27.

Following the Clark loss, LCC defeated Bellevue 2-0, North Idaho 2-0 and Shoreline 2-0, all on Saturday.

Sunday morning's first match also started very slow.  In a rematch from last season's NWAC title match, Linn Benton blasted the Devils 25-7.  But LCC responded by taking the next two sets 25-19 and 15-10.

Lower Columbia capped off the weekend with a 2-0 victory over Walla Walla on Sunday.

The high level of competition continues this week with a pair of three team affairs on Myklebust Gym.
