College Place, Wash. – The Wolves are back in action in all three fall sports this weekend. Soccer continues their home stand while volleyball and men's and women's golf hits the road. The Wolves are exciting to be adding to their softball roster for this spring and soccer for next year.

Men's and Women's Golf- Warner Pacific Invitational- Glendoveer Golf Course- Portland, Ore., Sept
Both golf teams are headed to the Warner Pacific Fall Shootout this weekend. The Wolves are coming off the Coastal Collegiate Classic, hosted by Corban University. The men's team finished in 9^th place and the women's team competed this last weekend as independent competitors. The Wolves will be playing at Glendoveer golf course, and last season they finished in 11^th place overall. Walla Walla will be missing the experience of Jarret Johnson, who finished with last year's best score on the team, with combined score of +12 overall. The women's team will be getting their first shot at the course. Last season Rocky Mountain college finished as the overall winner, shooting a +68 as a team.

Soccer- Sept. 23, College of Idaho (3:00pm)- Sept. 25, Rocky Mountain College (1:00pm)
On Friday the Wolves host the Coyotes (2-3), in Walla Walla's third contest of the season. The Yotes lost their opening Cascade Conference (CCC) game to Rocky Mountain College (4-2), but they held the Bear's to a tight 2-1 score. The Wolves will need to keep an eye out for Guilherme Siquiera, who is leading College of Idaho with four goals on the year.

This Sunday Walla Walla goes up against #8 Rocky Mountain College (4-2). ROMC is 1-0 in conference play, and they have three different players with two goals apiece. The Wolves will need to be on high alert from the Bears balanced attack. Goalkeeper Cole Catlin has recorded 12 saves on the season, while only allowing seven goals through the first six games.

Volleyball- Sept. 22, at New Hope Christian College- Sept. 23, at Oregon Tech- Sept. 24 at Southern Oregon
Wolves volleyball takes to the road once again, and they will be playing three matches in three days this weekend. New Hope Christian College (2-5) is up first on Thursday, Walla Walla is looking for some improvement of the last time they have the Deacons, in which they lost 3-1.

The Owls of Oregon Tech (6-6, 2-4) are up next for the Wolves. Oregon Tech is currently riding a three match conference winning streak, and they have only dropped one set over the course of those matches. Kelsey Sampson has been leading this season in kills, she comes in with 127 on the season, while Waverly Green has been setting up her teammates well all season, with over 300 assists so far.

Saturday night the Wolves finish up the trip at Southern Oregon University (7-6, 4-2). The Raiders have been playing well in league so far, and the last weekend they beat Multnomah University and Warner Pacific. Three players have over a 100 kills for the Raiders this season, but it has mostly been Lauren McGowne who has been feeding them. She has 472 assists on the season, and is averaging almost 10 assists per set.
