NJCAA Tournament Teams 2003 9th-place NJCAA Division II

Led by All-Americans Meghan Pudliner and Courtney Aguilar, and All-Region VI pick Amanda Koetting, JCCC won the East Jayhawk Conference Championship, posting a perfect 9-0 record. The Cavaliers opened postseason play with an amazing come-from-behind victory over 2002 Region VI Champion Hesston. After losing the first two games 29-31, 27-30, JCCC rebounded for three straight, winning 30-25, 30-22 and 15-13. JCCC won the District K title by sweeping Meramec in three straight games, 30-27, 30-24, 30-21. The Cavaliers opened play in the National Tournament in Toledo,Ohio, with a loss to nationally ranked Kirkwood, 21-30, 25-30, 20-30. JCCC bounced back with a three-game win over Hagerstown, 30-19, 33-31, 30-21. That would be JCCC’s only success, losing its next three matches to Kishwaukee, Scottsdale and Northwest Shoals, finishing with a 27-10 record and tied for ninth in the NJCAA.
2006 9th-place NJCAA Division II
JCCC returned to defend their national crown, but fell short, finishing ninth overall. JCCC opened the national tournament with a tough 3-1 loss to Illinois Central. Falling to the loser’s side meant the best JCCC could finish was ninth. Many teams could have packed it in after losing out on their dream of winning another national title, but JCCC proved why they are one of the top volleyball programs in the NJCAA. JCCC stormed back with a 3-0 victory over Williston College. They followed with a 3-1 win over Iowa Central, and secured ninth place with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Des Moines Area, avenging a loss the Bears earlier in the season.
