SOMERS, Wis. (Oct. 7, 2014)-- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside volleyball squad extended its win streak to three matches on Tuesday afternoon, steamrolling Olivet Nazarene University 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-14) in a non-conference tilt inside DeSimone Gymnasium.

The Rangers (9-6), playing their first home match after five straight on the road, dropped the opening point of set one before rattling off seven straight to stake a 7-1 lead. Jackie Langer tallied three kills during the surge while Rebecca Roembke also netted a kill. UW-Parkside never trailed the rest of the way with another Roembke kill closing the set 25-18 in favor of the hosts.

The visiting Tigers (7-19) grabbed an early lead in set two but were unable to withstand the Rangers as kills from Allyn Krenz and Roembke accounted for the set's final two points, giving UW-Parkside the 25-15 set win. The third set was tied 3-3 but the Rangers overwhelmed Olivet Nazarene down the stretch, capitalizing on a service error, a Roembke kill and a Langer service ace to secure the 6-3 lead. The Rangers led the rest of the way, posting the 25-14 set win to secure the three-set sweep.

Langer finished with a double-double, netting 12 kills and 11 digs while Lexi Turek and Roembke added nine and eight kills, respectively.
