The Colorado College volleyball team captured its first SCAC title since 2021 and earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Volleyball Tournament with a five-set victory over Schreiner University Saturday afternoon in Kerrville, Texas.
 
Camille Sherrill, the tournament's MVP, and Camden Goodman set SCAC Tournament match records with 28 kills and 70 assists, respectively, as the 5^th-seeded Tigers rallied to down the No. 3 seed Mountaineers, 25-22, 21-25, 20-25, 25-22, 15-8, for their 10^th consecutive victory and seventh overall SCAC title.
 
The first set was classic back-and-forth until CC took the first two-point lead at 17-15. Schreiner battled back to even it at 19-19, but the Tigers won six of the last nine points, including a pair of kills from Sherrill to clinch it.
 
Schriener captured the next two sets, but the Tigers roared back to win the fourth after pulling ahead 21-18 and then ending it with pair of kills each from Sherrill and Carolyn Dormady, including the set-point winner, to force the deciding set.
 
Sherrill kept her momentum in the fifth, collecting four kills early as the Tigers jumped out to an 8-2 lead and never looked back. Fittingly, Sherrill broke the kills record by putting down the final two points of the match.
 
Sherrill broke the previous kills record of 27, set by former Tiger Abbe Holtze in 2016, while Goodman's 70 assists surpassed the previous mark of 63 by former CC setter Lizzie Counts in 2017.
 
Dormady had 22 kills, followed by Brooke Brilliant with 10. For the second consecutive match, five Tigers were in double figures for digs, led by Meghan Gannon with 23 and Sherrill with a career-high 22.

Brilliant and Gannon were also named to the all-tournament team, while Goodman's 70 assists ranks No. 3 on the school's all-time single-match list..
 
The Tigers will compete in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the fall of 2021, head coach Sharon Dingman's first season at Colorado College.
 
Colorado College (22-7) will find out where and when it will play during the Division III selection show on Monday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m., to be broadcast on NCAA.com.
