The Lady Patriots from Dallas Baptist University won their ninth and tenth straight matches this weekend when they traveled to San Antonio, Texas, to take on the University of Incarnate Word and St. Mary's University.

On Friday, DBU defeated UIW to pick up their ninth win in as many tries.  The Patriots started the match out slow with a loss in game one but jumped right back to win three straight 30-18, 30-15, and 30-25. 

Leading the Patriots to victory were Senior Jenna Pry, who had 25 kills and 22 digs, and Freshman Vickie Mundell, with 33 assists, while Sophomore Amanda Pogue added 5 aces for points. 

DBU took on and defeated St. Mary's University on Saturday afternoon.  Again, the Patriots started off slow with a game one loss, but like Friday night took the match over in game two, winning 31-29, then finished off the Rattlers, 30-25 and 30-26. 

Pry played another big role in the win with 27 kills, 16 digs, and 3 blocks.  Senior Ashlee Hawkins added 21 digs and Mundell provided the team with several more assists that led to points.

With the two wins, DBU improved to 15-14 overall and 5-2 in the Heartland Conference, which gives them the sole possesion of second place, trailing only to Montana State-Billings, who is 8-0.   

DBU will be in action again on Wednesday, October 25, when they take on St. Edwards University, at 3:00, in the Burg.
