LAST TIME OUT
The Patriots dominated Oklahoma Christian and Cameron last weekend, improving their winning streak to five. DBU has won four consecutive contests in straight sets.
​
Lauren Witte and Paityn Winters turned in double-doubles in DBU's win over the Eagles on Friday, making splashes on both the front and back row. The Patriots turned in a hitting percentage .200 points higher than their opponent Friday, anchored by Witte's errorless 15-kill performance. It was the first time all season that DBU finished without a single ace, but their 48 kills were more than enough to maintain dominance in the box score.

​
Saturday, the Patriots notched their 20th win of the season, achieving the mark for the third time in the last five seasons. DBU held Cameron to a negative hitting percentage (-.012), which marked the second time in the last three games where the Patriots' opponent recorded more errors than kills. Avery Keck led the group with seven kills, in a game where eight different DBU attackers posted multiple tallies.
