After not winning a single match last year in three meetings, the Colby CC women’s volleyball team got a little revenge as they defeated Barton CC three sets to one in a matchup of top-20 ranked teams last night inside the Colby Events Center.  CCC took set one 25-23, then lost set two, 25-23, but took the final two sets, 25-22 & 25-17 to get the win.  The win improves the 20th-ranked Lady Trojans to 8-3 overall and keeps them unbeaten in conference play at 3-0. Up next, Colby heads to the Shelia Worley Tournament in Sterling, Colorado this weekend.

The Royals avoided the sweep Wednesday night, beating Arizona 5-2 at Kauffman Stadium. Bobby Witt Junior broke a 2-2 tie with a three-run homer in the fifth, while Carter Jensen added his 23rd home run of the season. Daniel Lynch allowed two runs over five innings to earn the win as Kansas City snapped Arizona’s four-game winning streak. The Royals head to Boston Friday to open a series with the Red Sox.

The Rockies dropped their second straight to the Yankees Wednesday night, falling 6-1 in New York. Colorado’s only offense came on a Connor Norby solo homer in the fifth, while rookie George Lombard Junior broke it open with a grand slam for the Yankees. Tomoyuki Sugano allowed five runs over six innings as Colorado fell to 55-and-90, reaching 90 losses for the fifth straight season.  Rox hope to avoid the sweep in tonight’s series finale. 

The NFL season opened Wednesday night with Seattle rallying past New England 13-10 in a Super Bowl rematch.
