“We did what we had to do in order to get the win tonight,” said MVNU head coach Paul Swanson. “I wish that we would have been a little more consistent, but we were still able to come away with the victory. We have to keep pushing ourselves to get better each time out if we want to compete well against the best teams in our conference.”

Speaking of competing against the best teams in the AMC South, the Lady Cougars will travel to Cedarville University on Thursday for a 7:00 p.m. conference match against the Yellow Jackets (13-6, 3-0 AMC South). MVNU snapped an eight-match losing skid to Cedarville on Saturday in the third-place match of the Best of the Best Tournament by downing the Yellow Jackets 30-17, 27-30, 30-28, 30-16.
