CU Stings UU, Takes Control of G-MAC

CEDARVILLE, Ohio (October 30, 2012) - On Tuesday night at home, the Cedarville University Yellow Jackets captured a key G-MAC matchup with Urbana University.  The Yellow Jackets swept the Blue Knights 25-11, 25-22, 25-16 to fend off their closest competitor in the conference standings.  The loss is the second of the season in conference play for the 4-2 Blue Knights.  Both defeats came at the hands of the Yellow Jackets, who improve to 26-5 overall and a perfect 5-0 in conference play.  Cedarville can clinch the regular season championship and right to host the G-MAC tournament next week with a victory against winless Central State on Friday night.

Playing well in defeat for the Blue Knights was freshman Maci Jones.  Jones had 6 kills in 15 attempts, hitting .333.  Kelsey Volkmer also tallied 6 kills in addition to 10 digs.  Mary Hendricks had 2 kills, 16 assists and 8 digs, and Kaci Eurez chipped in 8 digs.

Urbana still has a couple key G-MAC matchups remaining on its schedule.  If the Blue Knights are going to hold onto the #2 seed, they'll need to close out the regular season with strong performances at Ursuline College on Friday night and at Trevecca Nazarene next Friday.
