WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL CLAIMS 14TH SWEEP

ST. LOUIS—Women's Volleyball continued their winning ways on Tuesday evening, as they gained their 14th sweep of the 2018 season, this time over St. Mary-of-the-Woods College (Ind.). This win pushes the Spartans' win streak to 21.

Missouri Baptist rolled out to a quick lead in set one, with five consecutive serves from Rachel Luebbers. The Pomeroys put themselves on the board at 5-1, but the Spartans would maintain a hefty lead. Leading 14-8, a kill from freshman Sophia Cristiani put Luebbers back at the service line, where she dished out seven more. MBU would go on to take set one, 25-9.

Set two followed suit with Luebbers back to serve, once again. Pomeroy errors combined with smart plays from MBU's front line put them ahead quickly (7-0). The Spartans would keep a comfortable lead throughout, cruising through set two, 25-12.

The third set followed trend as the Spartans continued to rack up points (10-2). SMWC eventually gained possession, leading to a five-point score run (10-7). However, it was to no avail. MBU would go on to take set three, and the sweep (25-12).

It was a full team effort tonight as nearly every Spartan hit the court. Two-time AMC Attacker of the Week Caterina Cigarini dished out seven total kills, with outside hitters Maggie Sorensen and Mallory Moran right behind, each clocking out at six (.667 attack percentages).

AMC Defender of the Week Rachel Luebbers managed eight digs, while setter Megan Huffman finished the evening with 32 assists.

The Spartans travel to Columbia this weekend to compete in the Cougars' Fall Classic. Their first match is on Friday, October 12 against the No. 23 ranked Orediggers of Montana Tech. First serve is set for 1:00 p.m.
