Box Score CARROLLTON, Ga. - UWG volleyball extended their winning streak to three and their home winning streak to five with a 3-0 sweep of the Christian Brothers Buccaneers on Saturday.
UWG used solid hitting to take down the Bucs in three sets as the Wolves accumulated a season-high .299 hitting percentage compared to a .093 hitting percentage for CBU. Today's sweep makes it three straight sweeps for UWG and improves their record to 14-14 overall and 8-7 in the GSC on the season.
Wolves 25, Bucs 10
The momentum from West Georgia's win against Union yesterday carried over to today as the Wolves came out sharp and took a 10-5 lead early. Christian Brothers would get a kill from their kill leader, Tia Rizvi, but the Bucs started to struggle with their attacks which led to a 17-9 West Georgia lead and forced a CBU timeout. Christian Brothers would get another kill from Rizvi, out of the timeout, but the Wolves wouldn't take their foot off the gas as they rattled off eight straight points to end the set.
