With a season opener loss at home, the women’s volleyball team (6-2) has gone on a tear in their last seven games going 6-1 after performing well in the  Missouri S&T tournament.

Performing well in the Cross Country invite opener, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams placed 5th out of 7 and 5th out of 9, respectively. The runners prepare to begin their next race against multiple teams in the MIAA at the Emporia State Invitational on Sept. 23. After a comeback season last year performing well under new head coach Cameron Babb, the men and women look to capitalize on last year’s strong showing.

After the men swept the Wheatstate Fall Classic doubles competition and the women swept the singles competition, both of these teams look to add to their amazing start to the season.
