BILLINGS, Montana --- The Western Oregon volleyball team got a much-needed win on the road Saturday, sweeping MSU Billings 3-0 (25-17, 25-14, 26-24) at Alterowitz Gymnasium.

The victory for WOU (6-9 overall, 2-5 GNAC) breaks a five-match losing streak for the Wolves - and they did so in impressive fashion, dominating the first two sets.

WOU took a 5-0 lead to open the match and never looked back in the opening set and twice led by eight points to cruise to the 25-17 win. In the second set, the Wolves used a 7-0 run capped by a Delaney Smith kill to take an 11-6 lead and a 9-1 run run later in the set capped by an Ella Nordquist kill to take a 23-11 advantage and eventually win 25-14. 

The third set was close throughout and MSU Billings (7-9, 0-8) had set point at 24-23 before a kill from Sarah Crowell, an attack error by the Yellowjackets and a Madison Hornback kill rallied WOU for a 26-24 win and clinch the match.

Crowell paced WOU with 17 kills to just two errors while Hornback added eight kills. Sophia Casarez had 18 assists while Emily West had 12, four players had two blocks apiece to lead the team and Hornback and Ally Henry had a team-high nine digs apiece.

The Wolves return to action at home 7 p.m. Thursday when they host Simon Fraser at New PE Building.
