Hilary Trevino and Tiffany Borgerding both recorded 13 kills each in an excellent offensive output.

The Falcons traveled to the Johnson County Community College to play with the best teams in the NJCAA to start the season. Each team in the tournament has made the annual trip to the NJCAA National Tournament at the end of the season over the past few years. Competing against the NJCAA ranked #1, #3, #4 and #5 proved to be a tough task, but the volleyball team was ready. Knocking off number #5 Des Moines Area College in five games turned out to be the highlight of the weekend.
