Mustangs Have Historic Night Spoiled By William Woods

            Fulton, Mo. – Playing their first American Midwest Conference match in 20 days, Central Baptist College volleyball was at Anderson Arena tonight for a match with William Woods. CBC (9-12, 3-2 AMC) had a historic night for two players, but their efforts weren't enough to prevent a sweep by WWU (17-8, 4-2 AMC).

            Molly Murphy and Mikayla Lawrence both achieved historic milestones on the night despite the sweep. CBC did have 33 kills and hit .178, but couldn't stop a hot Owl attack, as WWU hit .396 with 46 kills.
