The Laramie County Community College (LCCC) Golden Eagles closed out their regular season with a 1-1 weekend split, finishing conference play with a strong 9-3 record.

On Friday, the Golden Eagles soared past the Gillette College Pronghorns in four sets (3-1). Sila Yildiz and Lea Susoy led the offensive charge with 14 kills apiece, while Adriana Deming added 10 kills and 16 digs in a standout two-way performance. Libero Savannah Cumming anchored the defense with 29 digs, and setter Addison Schreurs orchestrated the offense with 40 assists.

Saturday's matchup proved more challenging as LCCC faced off against conference-unbeaten Casper College. Despite a hard-fought effort, the Golden Eagles fell in straight sets. Yildiz once again led the team with 10 kills, followed by Beatrice Nani with 7. Cumming contributed 16 digs, and Schreurs added 25 assists.

With the regular season now complete, the Golden Eagles turn their attention to the Region IX Tournament, set to begin Wednesday. The team will look to carry their momentum into postseason play as they battle for a coveted spot in the NJCAA National Tournament.

More information on the Region IX Tournament will be available early next week.
