Volleyball
Four games into the conference schedule, the Humboldt State University volleyball team is finding that the California Collegiate Athletic Association is one of the better volleyball conferences in the country.
On Saturday the 'Jacks pulled even with the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos after the first two matches. However, Humboldt State dropped the next two matches and lost the game 3-1.
The Broncos took the first match 30-23, dominating from the first point. In the second match the roles were reversed as Humboldt State never surrendered the lead, defeating Cal Poly Pomona 30-20. The Broncos took the third game 30-20 and appeared to have the fourth game in the bag as they took an early 11-6 lead. Humboldt State battled back, keeping the game close and eventually took a 27-25 lead. The Broncos took the next five points to seal the victory and give the 'Jacks their third conference loss in four games.
A day earlier the 'Jacks took on Cal State San Bernardino, the No. 1 ranked team in Division II volleyball. The Coyotes took care of business, sweeping the 'Jacks (read the article on page 19 for more information.)
Humboldt State will be back in action this weekend when the team travels to play the Sonoma State Seawolves and the Cal State Monterey Bay Otters on Friday and Saturday. Including this weekend's games, the 'Jacks will play eight of their next nine games away from the East Gym.
Men's Soccer
For the second consecutive weekend the Humboldt State men's soccer team split a pair of games.
On Sunday the 'Jacks could not get past Cal State Stanislaus' defense in a 1-0 loss. The 'Jacks out-shot the Warriors by ten but could not find the back of the net. The loss dropped Humboldt State's overall record to 4-4-0 and the conference record to 1-2-0 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
Two days earlier the team took their game against the Chico State Wildcats into overtime. Junior defender Zlatan Sahmanovic's goal in the 107th minute ended a scoreless tie and propelled the 'Jacks to victory.
This weekend the team will play a pair of CCAA road games. On Friday Humboldt State will play at the Cal State Monterey Bay Otters. On Sunday the 'Jacks will play at San Francisco State in a match up against the Gators.
Women's Soccer
With a four-game road trip looming, the Humboldt State women's soccer tried to make the best of a two-game home stand this past weekend.
On Sunday the 'Jacks fell behind Cal State Stanislaus and never recovered. In the end the Warriors shut out the 'Jacks by a score of 2-0. Humboldt State now possesses an overall record of 4-4-1 and is 2-1-1 in the CCAA.
Friday's game against the Chico State Wildcats went Humboldt State's way as the 'Jacks scored with just over ten minutes left to pull out a 2-1 win (see article on page 20).
Up next for the team is a pair of road games. On Friday the 'Jacks play at Cal State Monterey Bay and on Sunday the team travels north to play the San Francisco State Gators.
Football
This weekend the football team had a bye and did not play. The team will return to the gridiron this weekend when they play at Menlo College in Atherton. Next Saturday the 'Jacks will play their first home game against the Dixie College Rebels at 6 p.m. in the Redwood Bowl.
Cross Country
Like football, the men's and women's cross country teams had the week off. This weekend the team will compete in Boise, Idaho at the Pre-Regional Meet.
