UMPQUA BASIN – Roseburg volleyball starts the second half of the Southwest Conference season with a trip to North Medford on Thursday. The Indians made it through the first half of the conference slate with an unblemished record and now look to make a run at the conference crown.
Roseburg is coming off a non-league loss against Sunset in the South Albany tournament last weekend. It was only the second loss of the season for the Indians. Both losses have come against top 10 teams.
The Roseburg girls will be well rested after four days off. They take the floor Thursday in Medford at 6:45 p.m.
There’s a big night brewing in the Far West League as the Umpqua Basin volleyball teams host the two teams tied for first. Douglas and South Umpqua have a chance to make things interesting with wins against North Bend and Siuslaw, which are currently tied for the league lead.
Douglas hosts North Bend in Winston. Both teams are coming off of emotional victories. The Lady Trojans went to five sets to take down Marshfield on Tuesday, while the Lady Bulldogs defeated Siuslaw to move into a tie for first.
A win for Douglas might just move the Trojans into a tie for first place as well. Douglas and North Bend tipoff at 6:30 p.m.
South Umpqua hosts Siuslaw looking to keep its chances of making the post season alive. A win would shake up the Far West League standings and keep the Lady Lancers within arms reach of making it to at least the play-in round.
South Umpqua and Siuslaw tipoff at 6:30 p.m. in Myrtle Creek.
Also coming up Thursday, the Sutherlin volleyball team looks to win its fourth straight match and stay near the top of the Sky-Em League standings. The Bulldogs are tied for second place with Cottage Grove and are just one game back of first place Sisters.
The first half of the Sky-Em League season wraps up Thursday when Sutherlin hosts Junction City. The contest tips off at 6 p.m.
