McPherson, Kan. - It was rivalry time at CCCK, as the Tigers welcomed McPherson College from the opposite side of town in the McPherson Collegiate Cup. In a battle that had 2 teams on opposite sides of the win-loss columns, the Tigers were hoping the rowdy home fans, a packed house, and the Bulldogs coming off an emotional conference win from Saturday, it could be enough for the upset, but a seasoned group from McPherson College came into Jerry Alexander Arena with a business attitude, and beat the Tigers in 3 sets, 25-11, 25-8, and 25-14.
 
Top Performers:
Amanda Dotter: 8 Kills, 2 Blocks, 4 Digs
Sydnie Jones: 6 Kills, 1 Block
Maddie Nix: 12 Assists
 
The loss to the Bulldogs puts the Tigers in a 1-2 hole in the Collegiate Cup Standings. The next match-up between the 2 schools will be the annual Mayors Cup game on November 5^th at the Jerry Alexander Arena.
 
The Tigers (1-22, 1-15) travel to Bethany, Oklahoma and look to get back in the win column to take on Southwestern Christian University (3-18, 1-15), on Friday at 7pm, and then Oklahoma City University (11-11, 11-5) on Saturday at 1pm. Both games can be seen on the SAC Sports Network.
