LCC volleyball closed out the regular season on a roll, winning its last five matches. The Red Devils are hoping that momentum will carry over into the postseason.

The NWAC 12th-ranked Devils (19-10 overall, 10-2 in the West Region) finished in a three-way tie with Highline and Centralia atop the region standings. Because of conference tiebreakers, LCC has the region’s second seed into postseason play.

In recent matches, LCC swept Pierce 3-0, handled Tacoma 3-1, and held off South Puget Sound 3-2.
