The Montcalm Community College volleyball team has secured a spot in the upcoming NJCAA Region XII tournament and now has an opportunity to improve its postseason positioning with two regular-season matches remaining.
The Centurions clinched their regional berth with a 3-1 road victory over Alpena Community College on Monday, Oct. 26, securing one of the top five spots in the MCCAA Northern Conference standings.
MCC head coach Kara Youngs said the win was a significant milestone for a team that has continued to improve throughout the season.
"That was a huge win for us," Youngs said. "With that win, we were able to qualify for regionals. The top five teams go to regionals."
For sophomore outside hitter Erin Borek (Grand Rapids, Mich.), qualifying for regionals represents a goal the team has pursued for more than a year.
"It feels awesome to clinch a spot in regionals," Borek said. "This is a new milestone for our group, so all of us girls are really excited to continue our season a little longer. Reaching regionals is something we sophomores have been working toward since last year, so accomplishing this goal means a lot to us. It feels like a blessing because we have put in so much hard work, time and effort to get here."
