EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - University of Southern Indiana Volleyball captured its seventh-straight victory in two gritty matches, beating GLVC-foes Maryville in four sets and William Jewell in five. The Screaming Eagles fought back from playing down 1-0 against the Saints and 2-0 deficit versus the Cardinals.
The 13th-ranked Eagles improved to 7-1 on the season following the Saturday double-header. USI struggled to start each match but found solid footing to take each match by winning all but one of the major categories and out-hitting the Saints in the last three sets. William Jewell dominated the first two sets over USI but the Screaming Eagles took control of their hitting to navigate a path to victory by reducing attack errors and out-hit the opposing Cardinals.
