ST. LOUIS—[BOX SCORE] Missouri Baptist Women's Volleyball took on the Lynx of Lindenwood-Belleville in the American Midwest Conference Quarterfinal on Tuesday evening. The Spartans came out on top in three sets, ending LU-Belleville's season.

The first set began with great intensity as each team battled it out. The entire match remained neck-and-neck throughout with 17 total ties. MBU managed to squeeze by, taking the first set by just two points (25-23).
