MATTAWA – The top-ranked Cashmere volleyball team and soccer squad hit the road Thursday, and moved closer to wrapping up their third straight conference titles with dominating victories.

On the volleyball court, the Bulldogs swept Wahluke to improve to 13-0 in conference play with three matches left, including next Thursday’s matchup against eighth-ranked Connell, which sits in second place.

Cashmere finished third at the Class 1A state tournament last season, repeated as the small-school champion at the SunDome Volleyball Festival and swept six-time defending champion Chelan last week in nonleague action.

The Bulldogs soccer team handled the Warriors 5-0 to also improve to 13-0 in SCAC action.

Like their volleyball counterparts, the 2025 state quarterfinalists are 45-0 in conference play since joining the SCAC in 2024.

District play begins Oct. 28 for soccer and Halloween afternoon for volleyball.
