Bulldogs rout Swedes

By STEVE SELL, Sentinel Sports Editor

In its most dominating performance of the year, McPherson College's volleyball team never allowed Bethany to reach the 20-point mark in sweeping the Swedes here Wednesday.

The Bulldogs won 30-19, 30-16 and 30-18 to move to 7-4 in the KCAC and 13-6 overall.

"The girls have been stepping up their play," McPherson coach Nathalea Stephenson said. "We were able to get some quality playing time for some that haven't played varsity this year. Our blocking was our strongest asset tonight as well as our serve receive was a lot better than in previous games."

Stephenson added a good Sport Center crowd helped the team. "The fans are like the seventh person on the floor," she said.

The team plays in St. Louis this weekend in the St. Louis College Pharmacy Tournament, which figures to have a strong field.
