MIDWAY, Ky. – The Campbellsville Tigers traveled to face the Midway Eagles on Tuesday night. The Tigers' tenacious spirit earned them their 10th sweep of the season, extending their four-match win streak.

Starting the initial set, the Tigers came out with a bang, in part to Jana Krstic assisting a Brooke Hager kill. Though Campbellsville came out strong, the Eagles stayed par with the Tigers.

Campbellsville was tenacious and racked up kills from multiple Tigers to put them over the Eagles.

Opening the second set, the Tigers were on the scoreboard first, but like the first set, the Eagles remained even. Errors from Midway allowed the Tigers to jump out to an 11-6 lead. However, the teams found themselves knotted halfway through the second set. A late surge from Cierra Merrick, Shannon, and Hager put the Eagles in a bind but were unable to respond.
