Madison, WI:
The Golden Eagles will be heading back to the city of Madison, WI this weekend for the second year in a row. Women's Soccer and Volleyball will be respectively competing with chances to go to the NJCAA DII National Tournaments.

The weekend will be kick started with the #2 seed women's soccer program who took care of business against Madison College in the Region 4 Tournament Semifinal on Tuesday afternoon. Goals were scored by Sara Holguin and Emma Ambrose who gave the Golden Eagles the go ahead from a corner kick.
"Madison worked really hard and were very organized defensively. They did well to draw level on a well worked set piece, but also happy we were able to hold them to the lone shot on target. I think our attitude and desire to get the winner was a good test to see this type of game out for the win." coach Watkins stated. Rock Valley will face off against South Suburban on Saturday at 1:00pm with a ticket to the 2024 NJCAA DII National Tournament on the line. 
 
The women's volleyball team would open up Region 4 tournament play with a three set sweep over Oakton College. Bria Johnston would record 15 kills, Emma Fistarol would record 7 kills herself in the match.  Asha Billstrand would record 5 blocks to lead the Golden Eagles, Jakhi Smith would get 21 assist and Nevaeh Cruz would get 5 services aces on the night.
With that win the Golden Eagles will now face off against Moraine Valley in the Region 4 Semi-Final game at Madison College. The last time the Golden Eagles faced the Chargers back in August RVC fell 1-3 in four sets. " We are excited to have the opportunity for this rematch with Moraine Valley, we are focused, excited and ready to execute the game plan" Stated Head Coach Kristy Pierce
 
WE as an athletic department are looking forward to the weekend in Madison where Women's Soccer, and Volleyball will be competing for Region Championships and National Tournament appearances.
