This is an exciting week for Shoreline Dolphins athletics! The Volleyball team travels to nearby rival Edmonds Community College on Tuesday, November 10th for a 7pm match. The Phins have already secured a share of the North Region title, but a win at Edmonds would give the Region title to the Phins outright. Let’s make the short drive to Seaview Gymnasium to cheer on our first place Phins as they look to end regular season play on the ultimate high.

The game is at the Seaview Gym on the Edmonds Community College campus at 20000 68th Ave. W in Lynnwood. Find directions to campus here.
