Which game(s) should you attend? Are any of the last four games important for our Lady Cavaliers? Let&#8217;s look at a couple of things.<\/p>\n<p>First, our women&#8217;s team has been great this year, boasting a current win-loss record of <a href=\"https:\/\/jcccathletics.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/teams\/johnsoncountycommunitycollege\">18-7<\/a>. That is a <a href=\"https:\/\/jcccathletics.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/teams\/johnsoncountycommunitycollege\">win percentage<\/a> of 72%. Conference games are where wins matter most though, and the women have done pretty well in this regard, too, winning 5 out of 7 games so far. Taking a quick glance at the rest of the season, the JCCC women\u2019s volleyball team has two conference and two non-conference games left.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining schedule reads:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday, Oct. 15, Kansas City Kansas Community College at JCCC (<a href=\"https:\/\/jcccathletics.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/schedule\">conference game<\/a>). <b>See more about this game below.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Wednesday, Oct. 22, MidAmerican Nazarene University JV at JCCC.<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, Oct. 25, JCCC plays at home versus Central Methodist University JV.<\/li>\n<li>On Wednesday, Oct. 29, in the last game of the regular season, JCCC will visit Fort Scott Community College (<a href=\"https:\/\/jcccathletics.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/schedule\">conference game<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, which of these games will prove to be the toughest challenge for our Lady Cavs?<\/p>\n<p>The toughest game will undoubtedly be the first of our two conference games, <a href=\"https:\/\/bluedevils.kckcc.edu\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/schedule\">KCK Community College<\/a>. They have a record of 18-3 and are 6-0 so far in conference play. The only other potential \u201ctough\u201d competition would be that following Wednesday, Oct. 22, against <a href=\"https:\/\/mnusports.com\/sports\/varsity-reserve-volleyball\/schedule\">MidAmerican Nazarene University\u2019s JV<\/a> volleyball squad. These women have an overall record of 10-5, and while technically a \u201cJunior Varsity\u201d squad, these JV women still won&#8217;t go down easily. The two final games should be two of our easiest games all year. With equally bad play, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmueagles.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26jv\/schedule\">Central Methodist University\u2019s JV<\/a> volleyball squad hasn\u2019t won a game all year, granted they\u2019ve only played 8 total games, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsgreyhounds.com\/sports\/wvball\/2025-26\/schedule\">Fort Scott Community College<\/a> has gone 3-21 overall and hasn\u2019t won a single conference game all season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Jacob J.
