The Thunder volleyball team hit the road for the first time this season to take on Union Adventist in Nebraska and earned the sweep over the Warriors (25-10, 25-22, 25-17). Led by strong and smart attacking, the Thunder hit a season-best, 0.244. Ellie Wilson had a team-high 0.409 attack percentage with 10 kills, while Liv Lubbers had a 0.238 attack percentage with 9 kills. Jacey Schurle also had six service aces for the Thunder. The reigning NCCAA DII Volleyball Student-Athlete of the Week, Abigail Blake, and Lubbers led the defensive attack with 16 and nine digs, respectively. With the sweep, the whole team gained much needed experience.

The Thunder open Midwest Christian College Conference play next week when they travel to Missouri on Friday, September 6th to take on the Calvary University Warriors at 7:00 PM at The Pyramid Athletic Center in Belton, MO.
