Kearney, Neb. - The 6th-ranked Nebraska-Kearney volleyball team hit nearly .300 to roll past Chadron State (-9, -15, -19) Tuesday night at the Health & Sports Center.

The Lopers (22-1, 12-1 RMAC) have won nine straight matches, 14 straight sets and continue an amazing 28 year win streak over the Eagles. Beating Chadron for a third time this fall, UNK is 56-0 vs. the Eagles since late in the 1983 season.

Chadron, coached by former Loper assistant Natasha Marquis, began the year 3-1 but is now 5-20 (0-13 RMAC).

UNK held the Eagles to a negative .069 hitting percentage in the first set (5-7-29) while recording 15 kills on offense. Overall, the Lopers hit .292 (46-13-133) and CSC warmed up to .027 (22-19-10).

Individually, Ewing junior outside Abbey Schueth came off the bench to record a career-high 10 kills. She reached that total in 20 swings (.400 attack pct.) while also digging up one ball.

Next, sophomore middle Haley Lake had 10 kills and no errors in 19 attempts (.526 attack pct.). The Lincoln Southeast grad came into the week leading the RMAC in hitting efficiency and is now at a sparkling .407.

Also, sophomore right side Katie Sokolowski had seven kills in nine attempts (.778 attack pct.) with freshman libero Liz McGowan (Grand Island CC) having a match-high 22 digs.

UNK hosts Colorado Christian Saturday night. The Lopers needed to rally from a 2-0 deficit when the two teams met earlier this year in Lakewood.
