For the second consecutive season, the Scottsdale Community College Volleyball program fell just short in the NJCAA Division II National Volleyball Championships title match, losing in five sets to No. 1 Cowley County in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Cowley (41-0) opened the match in dominate fashion, taking the opening set 25-9. Down 15-10 in the second set, the Artichokes found an answer for the Tigers, rallying to win the set 25-23. Cowley rebounded in the third to win 25-18. With their backs to the wall, SCC came out quickly and thoroughly controlled the fourth set winning 25-18.

The stage was then set. No. 1 vs. No. 2. Both undefeated and a fifth set to decide it all. Cowley looked to have their hands on the trophy, going up 9-4. The Artichokes as they have done all year, battled back to cut the deficit to 1 at 11-10. The Tigers would eventually push their lead to 14-12 and have two match and championship points. Scottsdale denied Cowley on both attempts and did so again when down 14-15. SCC turned the tables on the Tigers and led 16-15 with their own championship point on their serve. Unfortunately, the Tigers were able to secure the next three points and the title.

The season for SCC comes to a close with a 27-1 record.

Reese Holtorf and Macee Lesueur both were named to the NJCAA Volleyball Championships Division II All-Tournament Team.
