OWENSBORO, Ky. - (courtesy of @CUJackets) Cedarville University is the 2013 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Volleyball Champion!
The Lady Jackets needed just a little more than an hour to sweep host and top seed Kentucky Wesleyan in what was their most impressive performance of the season.
CU rolled over the Panthers 25-17, 25-19, 25-18 to improve their record to 23-14. KWC ends its year at 26-7.
What a difference a week makes. Just seven days prior, the Jackets squandered a lead in the fifth set at home to Kentucky Wesleyan giving the Panthers the #1 seed and right to host the tournament.
The third time was indeed the charm. Cedarville's only two regular season conference setbacks came at the hands of KWC.
