Bobcats Conclude Historic Season at District Championship

The Frontier Community College Bobcats Volleyball team wrapped up a record-setting season with a strong showing at the NJCAA Midwest District B Championship, held at Mineral Area College in Park Hills, Missouri, over the weekend.

In Saturday's matchup, the Bobcats faced a familiar Region 24 rival in Vincennes University. During the regular season, the two teams had split their series, setting the stage for another close contest. In a hard-fought battle, Vincennes edged out the Bobcats in three tightly contested sets—25-22, 25-23, 25-23. The Trailblazers controlled the net for much of the match, finishing with a .221 hitting percentage compared to Frontier's .205.

Evan Polsgrove led the Frontier attack with 10 kills, followed by Lily Spark with 9 and Cassidy King with 7. Setting duties were shared between Sarah McCorkle, who tallied 15 assists, and Camdyn Tappendorf, who added 12. From the service line, Tinlea Webb recorded four aces, while Bria Beals chipped in two. Defensively, Spark anchored the back row with 19 digs, while Riley Roark added 13. At the net, Jenna Abusharbain and King each notched two solo blocks.

Host Mineral Area College went on to defeat Vincennes in three sets later on Saturday, then topped Iowa Western Community College in Sunday's championship match to secure a trip to the NJCAA National Tournament.

For Frontier, the 2025 season will be remembered as the most successful in program history. The Bobcats closed the year with a 19-19 overall record and a top-six finish in Region 24 play, making a postseason appearance. The team extends its heartfelt thanks to all who supported Bobcat Volleyball throughout an exciting and memorable season.
