Playing its final weekday match of the season, the Warriors ended a four-match losing streak to its conference traveling partner that dated back to the 2005 season.

Defensively, the Warriors recorded a match-high 11.0 blocks led by Reeher's match-high.

Along with Reeher's double-double, Thompson registered 10-or-more assists and digs and Davenport added 10-or-more kills and digs to round out the Warrior trio of double-doubles.

On the defensive side of the net, Concordia recorded a combined 8.0 blocks with Burrows and Rath leading the charge with one solo and two assist blocks each.

With the win, Corban improves at 8-9 overall, 6-5 in Cascade Collegiate Conference play. Meanwhile, Concordia drops to 10-10 overall, 6-5 in conference action.
