The CAM Cougars may be one of the hottest teams in all of volleyball right now. The Cougars defeated the Paton-Churdan Rockets on Thursday night in three dominating sets. The Cougars won the sets by scores of 25-11 25-5 25-12. The Rockets scored the first three points to begin the night in set 1, but from there on it was all Cougars. The Cougars got great play from their entire roster, but their main leader Thursday showed out big time. Senior Eva Steffensen was dominant at the net offensively and defensively but where she stole the show was back serving. Steffensen tallied 5 aces to lead the Cougars and also had 5 digs to go along with 16 kills. Head Coach of CAM Jenna Mcdonald has been impressed with the improvements of Steffensen and her serving game.

The Cougars are an experienced team and that shows with their chemistry on the court, but no two players have better chemistry on the court than sister duo senior Emma Follmann and younger sister freshman Courtney Follmann. Coach Mcdonald on the special connection of this team and sisters.

The Cougars are playing their best volleyball as tournament play approaches winning nine of their last ten, four games in a row, and even more impressive the Cougars have won 11 consecutive sets. Coach Mcdonald says the team is firing on all cylinders.

The Cougars finish the regular season with a 18-7 record and will go to the Rolling Valley Conference tournament on October, 14th at Coon Rapids Bayard, and then the Cougars will host Class 1A Region 5 tournament First Round. Hear the full interview with Coach Mcdonald below
