Emma Ryan were named Cascade Conference Red Lion Players of the Week on Monday after the senior trio was instrumental to Southern Oregon's CCC Tournament sweeps over the weekend.
The fifth-ranked Raiders (29-3) won in straight sets in Friday's semifinals against Northwest Christian and Saturday's championship against Eastern Oregon to defend their tournament title. Bogatin helped direct a .409 attack the first night and a .264 the second with 7.2 assists per set, and in the title match she recorded a career-high nine digs.
Ristvedt collected her third straight weekly attacking award with 15 kills against NCU and 10 against EOU. The two-time CCC Player of the Year also had a career-high nine assisted blocks in the final, including six in the first set.
Ryan received the CCC's defensive award after posting six digs per set in the tourney and 19 for the match against EOU, the second-highest total of her career in a three-setter. She helped the Raiders limit NCU to a .119 attacking average and EOU to .036, its lowest clip in a match since the 2010 season.
The Raiders are
off until Dec. 3, when they'll begin pool play at the NAIA Championships in Sioux City, Iowa.
