DBU Volleyball Picks Up Heartland Conference Victory

The Lady Patriots pick up their fourth win in the Heartland Conference when they defeated Oklahoma Panhandle State University in five games on Thursday night. With the victory, DBU improved to 9-16 and 4-5, while OPSU fell to 1-31.

The Patriots hit their way to victory in game one, when 19 of their 30 points came off of kills. However, in game two and three OPSU regained the momentum by winning 30-25 and 30-27 to take a 2-1 lead heading into game four.

DBU had no choice but to answer and that they did in game four jumping out to a 21-15 lead and riding the right arm of Junior Lauren Secord they tied up the match with a 30-25 victory. Using the momentum from game four DBU wrapped up the match in game five, winning 15-12, with 12 kills in the final game.
