Lady Spartans Win Streak Extended to Eight

The MBU women's volleyball team won its eighth match in a row in a see-saw battle over the University of Illinois at Springfield Friday night. The Lady Spartans defeated the Prairie Stars in five games: 30-26, 27-30, 32-30, 18-30, 15-11.

MBU was led once again by the play of middle blocker Brittany Lukasek, who finished with 15 kills and three solo blocks on the night. Lisa Forchee and Alex Fox added 15 kills and 10 kills respectively, while libero Tracey Abell came up with 26 digs, and Heather Rynd handed out 42 assists.

The win improves the Lady Spartans to 10-7 overall, 4-1 in the American Midwest Conference. They are in a battle for second place in the AMC with McKendree University (14-2 overall, 5-1 AMC), falling only one game shy in AMC play. Ownership of the second place spot will be determined when the two face Wednesday, October 3 at 7:00 p.m. at Missouri Baptist University.
