Volleyball To Host 1st Round Playoff Match

The first-year FLC volleyball team learned late Thursday that they had earned the number eight NorCal seed in the state playoffs, and thus will host a first round playoff match against Big 8 Conference foe Delta College on Tuesday night at Falcon Gymnasium.  The Falcons were expecting a number 10 or 11 seed, but their strength of schedule and the depth of quality teams in the tough Big 8 Conference landed them at home for Round 1.  The matchup pits two teams with identical 10-6 Big 8 records, while the Falcons are 19-8 overall compared to the Mustangs' 18-8.  The teams met twice this season with FLC winning both matches, though the most recent was a 5-set nailbiter in Stockton on November 4.  The Falcons hope the home crowd will bring plenty of noise and energy as they attempt to advance to Round 2.  Ticket prices are set by the California Community College Athletic Association and are as follows:

Students, staff, faculty, seniors, and children: $8
