The Utah State Eastern women's volleyball team swept Truckee Meadows Community College in both matches of a weekend series in Reno, Nevada, according to a October 25 statement. The victories earned the Eagles two straight-set wins and strengthened their position in the Scenic West Athletic Conference standings.
The Eagles entered the weekend tied for first place in the conference. During the first match on Friday, Eastern won the first set 25-11, the second set 25-13, and the third set 25-10. Sela Christiansen led the team with eight kills, while Alivia Manning recorded six blocks.
Eastern continued its performance on Saturday with another straight-set win over the Lizards. The Eagles won the opening set 25-14, the second set 25-16, and the third set 25-12. Christiansen recorded 10 kills in the match, marking the team's fourth consecutive victory, while Manning added seven blocks.
The Eagles will return to the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center for a two-match series against No. 5 Salt Lake Community College. Both teams currently hold 8-2 conference records and are tied with the College of Southern Idaho for first place in the SWAC standings. A weekend sweep of Salt Lake Community College would give Eastern a chance to claim a share of the regular-season conference championship, depending on the results of matches involving CSI. The first match is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., and the rematch is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Eagles will also honor their sophomores on Saturday.
