“It was nice to get everyone involved in this win,” said MVNU coach Paul Swanson, who posted win No. 899 in his illustrious career. “(Kenyon) played really well in the second set and was up 22-19. After a timeout, we came out and scored the final six points to take the set. Then, we closed things out in the third set.”

The Lady Cougars will be off until next Thursday when MVNU will travel to Urbana University for another non-conference match that will start at 7:00 p.m. Swanson, a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame, will be looking to become the first coach in NAIA women’s volleyball history to record 900 wins. He current overall record stands at 899-317 (.739 winning percentage) in 27 years at the NAIA level - 26 seasons of which have come with the Lady Cougars.
