Women's volleyball takes two

The CSUS women's volleyball team is on a roll of late, winning games with almost a stress-free air about them. They showed that in their matches against the Idaho State Bengals on Friday and the Weber State Wildcats on Saturday, posting three-game sweeps against both teams to improve to 10-6, which shot them into sole possession of first place in the Big Sky.

In the 15-6, 15-5, 15-7 victory over the Bengals, the Hornets were led by Carissa Buie with 15 kills and Esther Rogers with 10 digs. Maureen Rafferty, who had eight digs, and Rebekah Capel, with her eight kills, also contributed solid performances that helped shut down the Bengals.
