KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (Nov. 6, 2015)-- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside volleyball squad made quick work of host Truman State University on Friday night, sweeping the Great Lakes Valley Conference rivals 3-0 (25-23, 25-22, 25-17) inside Pershing Arena.

The score was tied again at 22 before UW-Parkside received kills from Lauren Hickson and Rebecca Roembke sandwiched around a TSU attack error to earn the 25-23 set win.

The Bulldogs scored the opening point of set three but it was all Parkside after that, rattling off five straight points midway through the set to take control and cruise to the 25-17 set win to seal the match in three.
