Instead of traveling to face two other schools in a triangular match, Reedley College will host Bakersfield and Cerro Coso colleges in their own tri tournament on Saturday.

It is believed that this in the first tournament hosted by the Tigers since 1986.

Before the Tigers host their own tournament, they are scheduled to travel to Elk Grove today (Sept. 11) to face Cosumnes River and Modesto in the CRC tournament.

Reedley (2-4) will face 10th ranked Bakersfield (4-4) in the opening match at noon before the Renegades face Cerro Coso (0-3) at 2pm. Reedley faces Cerro Coso in the final match at 4pm.

Tiger head coach Jennifer Uresti hopes to make the tournament a showcase for area high school teams.

Last Thursday afternoon, Reedley improved to 1-1 at Paul Mitchell Court this season with a 3-1 victory over the College of the Siskiyous.

Siskiyous scored the first point of the match before Reedley ran off 12 straight. The Tigers jumped to leads of 9-4 and 15-8 in the second game of Reedley's 25-18, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19 victory. Reedley led 19-9 in the final game before holding off a Siskiyous comeback.

Lilian Martinez led Reedley with eight kills while Scarlett Hulse was close behind with seven. Middle blockers Presley Galpin and Jamie Clothier (both Immanuel grads) had solid games.

MB Jaime Clothier led the Tigers with a solid outing in their victory over Siskyous College. She recorded 4 kills on the day hitting .400, with 6 Blocks, 3 aces and 3 digs.
