Cowley College lost the first two games, (21-25, 19-25) to top-seed Illinois Central Community College, and came back to win the next two, to force a fifth game to determine the NJCAA Division II national champion. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the Cougars regrouped to win the fifth set 15-7 and claimed the national title Saturday in Wisconsin Dells, WI.
This marks the second time in the past five years that Cowley has finished as the national runner-up. The loss snapped the Tigers' 19-match win streak as Cowley ends the season with a record of 32-5 in Jenifer Bahner's first season as head coach of the team.
Illinois Central caps its national championship season with a record of 33-7.
Congratulations to our Cowley women! Cowley sports teams are the best.
