Another Great Event For The Women
The team was on the road to compete against Southwestern Michigan Community College and North Central Community College on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
The first match of the day was against the SMC Roadrunners. The Red Hawks got off to a slow start in game one losing 16-25 to a well-prepared SMC team.

These things forced the Roadrunners out of system and provided the Red Hawks the opportunity to win the next three sets. Next up were the North Central Timber Wolves, where the women took the match in three straight sets 25-16, 25-19, 25-11. The team went 2-0 on the day and now has an overall record of 7-1.
