ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst University women's volleyball team earned their second-straight sweep Saturday evening against Loras College inside R.A. Faganel Hall.

Elmhurst (13-7, 1-4 CCIW) used a balanced offensive attack and a strong presence at the net the win over the Duhawks (10-13, 1-3 ARC).

Both teams were even early, leading to a nine-all score midway through the first set. From there, Elmhurst outscored the Duhawks 9-2 powered by Elise Rossing, opening a 19-12 lead which the Bluejays kept to win set one, 25-17. In the second set, Elmhurst went ahead early before a spurt of scoring from Loras kept the set score close. The Duhawks again evened the set at ten at the midway point, but another Elmhurst 7-2 scoring run opened a 17-12 lead which the Bluejays converted to a 25-19 second set win. From there, the Bluejays continued to stay ahead of the visitors, using a Reardon kill to seal the set three victory, 26-16, and a sweep over Loras.
