Volleyball Sophomore Night – Tues., November 8

Shoreline CC volleyball team hosts Bellevue CollegeVolleyball plays their final home game on Tues., Nov. 8 at 7 p.m., marking the last chance to see the Phintastic Five sophomore class in The Aquarium. The team is currently on an eight-match winning streak and has only dropped two sets during their run. The last match the Phins dropped was to Edmonds, who the Phins face again on Tuesday night.

Shoreline is 17-12 on the year and 9-2 in the North Region. The Phins are one game behind Bellevue in the standings and have already clinched a spot in the NWAC Volleyball Championships. Shoreline needs a win on Tuesday and a loss by Bellevue to earn a share of the Region title.


The Phintastic Five
The 2016 class of sophomores is a special group and one of the most successful in Shoreline CC volleyball team hosts Bellevue CollegeShoreline Volleyball history. As freshmen in 2015 Taylor Alexander, Carlie Howard, Kyla Pitzman, Kristina Nielsen, and Josie Dalrymple were all instrumental in Shoreline’s North Region Championship. The Phins have had control of the North Region ever since this group stepped on campus. Over the past two years, the Phins are tied with Bellevue for the best record in the Region at 19-4. In 2015 the Phins finished 5th at the NWAC Volleyball Championships and will look to improve on that finish in this year’s tournament.

The five sophomores will be honored prior to the 7 p.m. match against Edmonds. Come out and support this group one last time before they head off to represent us in the NWAC Championships.

A Veterans’ Day message from President Cheryl Roberts

Dear Colleague,

As the college observes Veterans’ Day on Friday, November 11th, it is a time to recognize and remember the sacrifices of our fellow citizens who have served – and continue to serve – our country in the armed forces.

Shoreline Community College is home to many students and employees who belong to this select group of heroes. I hope each of us will take time during this holiday to remember their service with respect and reverence. We owe a debt of gratitude to them.

In appreciation,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
