MEN'S BASKETBALL

The LC State Men's Basketball team will take on Yellowstone Christian in its first official contests of the season on Wednesday and Thursday., both at 5:30 p.m. The Warriors defeated the Centurions four times last season, including a heavy-handed 98-49 victory. 

LC opened the 2021-22 season with an exhibition victory over the semi-pro Seattle Mountaineers on Oct. 17. Nathan Fromm led the Warriors with 20 points in the 97-76 win, while Al Sommerfield added 14 and Khalil Stevenson had 13. Sommerfield drained four 3-pointers and Stevenson led the defense with nine boards. Silas Bennion had a strong outing and nearly notched a triple-double. The freshman guard finished the game with 11 assists, nine points and eight rebounds. 

LC State will host “Trick-or-Treat with the Warriors" on Wednesday and will pass out candy at the entrance. Fans are encouraged to wear costumes and participate in a costume contest at the game. LC Athletics will give out prizes to winners. 

VOLLEYBALL

Warrior Volleyball will play its final regular-season road matches on Friday and Saturday in Portland, Ore. LC will open the weekend at Multnomah at 7 p.m. before facing Warner Pacific on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Warriors defeated WPU 3-1, and Multnomah 3-0, in Lewiston earlier this season. Jada Wyms tallied 18 kills in the victory over Warner Pacific and Kenzie Dean collected 24 digs. Against Multnomah, Carli Berntson led the charge with eight kills.

Grecia Ung Enriquez and Dean were voted Cascade Conference WVT Laboratory Athletes of the Week on Monday, with Ung Enriquez earning Attacker of the Week honors and Dean getting the nod for Defender of the Week. Both were vital in LC's three straight road wins last week.

The remaining matches are key to the Warriors' postseason fate with LC State currently tied for sixth with Evergreen State and College of Idaho in the CCC standings. The top six teams in the conference move on to the Cascade Conference tournament. The Warriors hold the edge in both tiebreakers against TESC and C of I. The Warriors close out the regular season at home on Nov. 5 and 6 against (RV) Bushnell and No. 5 Corban.
