On the road for the next month, Kansas City Kansas Community College’s volleyball team gave their fans a happy farewell Wednesday with a quick 3-0 blanking of Independence.
The longest span of playing away from the friendly confines of the KCKCC Field House in college history, the Blue Devils will not return home until they are hosts to Fort Scott in their regular season finale – a span of 33 days.
The Blue Devils jumped in front 25-16 Wednesday, held off Indy for a 25-22 win and then closed out the set with a 25-10 cruise. The win was the third in a row and boosted the Blue Devils above the .500 mark and 7-6.
The long road trip begins Friday at Hesston and then it’s on to Longview next Tuesday.
There’s also two tournaments – at Central Nebraska in Columbus Oct. 6-7 and the Lincoln Land tourney in Springfield, Ill. Oct. 20-21 – along with Jayhawk matches at Allen County Oct. 11, Coffeyville Oct. 18 and Neosho County Oct. 25.
