Ashland, OR - The Hawks travel to Oregon to take on a tough Raiders' Southern Oregon University team. After keeping the games close, the Raiders were able to pull out each game, defeating the Hawks in three games: 20-25, 17-25, 19-25.

Oakland, CA - The women's volleyball team comes into this year with a solid core of athletes returning. They lose two middles in Michelle Myers and Kendra Vasquez from last year's team, but bring in 5 solid players. The recruiting class includes two new middles, freshman Rachel Vartarian and junior Cheyenne Hamby both measuring at least 6 feet. Last season the Hawks finished 13-17 overall and 9-3 in California Pacific Conference play. They lost to the Oaks of Menlo College in the California Pacific Conference Tournament Championship, and will look to improve on that this year.
