South Umpqua Lancers Girls Volleyball 0-3 Marist Catholic

Marist Catholic handed South Umpqua a 3-0 sweep Tuesday evening in a Far West League (3A) girls volleyball match, sending the Myrtle Creek, Oregon, program to 6-9 overall and 0-6 in league play. The Cougars made the trip to Eugene unable to find answers against a Marist Catholic squad that controlled all three sets from start to finish. Without a detailed box score available, the sweep reflects a difficult stretch of conference play for South Umpqua, which has yet to break into the win column against league opponents this fall. The overall record tells a more complete story, however, as the Cougars have shown they can compete outside of conference, carrying six wins into the heart of their schedule. South Umpqua will need to find its footing quickly as the Far West League slate continues. A strong effort in the remaining conference matches could help the program build momentum heading into the postseason picture.
