The 17th-ranked Truman volleyball team hit .282 and made quick work of Southwest Baptist on Dig Pink night in Pershing Arena, picking up a 3-0 sweep of the Bearcats and running its winning streak to 14 matches.
 
The Bulldogs and Bearcats played a tight 25-22 first set before Truman set its offense on cruise control and rolled to 25-8 and 25-16 second and third set victories. 

Allie Brak finished with 11 kills, as nine different Bulldogs put down multiple kills on the night.

Megan Sharpe added six kills and a pair of blocks in two sets, while redshirt freshman Talyor Mirka recorded four kills and a pair of aces in the third set.
 
Truman (23-4, 11-2 MIAA) dealt eight aces on the night and held SBU (10-18, 1-12 MIAA) to just .056 hitting.

Abby Moser finished with a team-high 11 digs, with setter Meghan Zimmerman totaling 29 assists and seven digs of her own.
 
The Bulldogs head to Missouri Western on Tuesday (Oct. 30) night for a 7:00 pm match with Missouri Western.
