The Kellogg Community College women’s soccer and volleyball teams have had a rough week or so of competition. See details below.

Women’s volleyball

After falling to Kalamazoo Valley Community College in three sets (19-25, 19-25, 16-25) on Tuesday, Oct. 2, the women’s volleyball team headed to a weekend tournament in Vincennes, Ind., bringing just nine of their 13-member roster due to factors including illness and family related issues.

The team lost all three games played during the tournament, falling to Owens Community College in three sets (16-25, 9-25, 20-25) on Friday, Oct. 5; to Parkland College in three sets (9-25, 18-25, 11-25) on Saturday, Oct. 6; and to Vincennes University in three sets (6-25, 8-25, 10-25), also on Saturday.

The team plays next against Jackson Community College beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, in Jackson. The Bruins defeated JCC in three sets in their last match, which was held at home in the Miller Gym on Thursday, Sept. 13.
