Warrior Win Streak Ends in McPherson

McPherson, Kan.- The Sterling College volleyball team traveled to McPherson College this past Wednesday, continuing their conference season against the Bulldogs. They were unable to keep up with the Bulldog intensity, putting a loss into their 2-2 conference record after a 3-set sweep.

The Bulldogs took an early lead in all three sets, forcing the Warriors into a defensive position throughout the entire match. With few chances to capitalize on attacks and a strong Bulldog defense at the net, the Warriors found little room for error. The scores of the three sets were 25-15, 25-13, and 25-13.

Aubrey Young led the way with 12 assists and 6 digs for the Warriors. Ashlyn Fast, Paige Borges, and Emily Peterson led the attack with 3 kills each.
