Ashland University's volleyball team continues as the Great Midwest Athletic Conference's pacesetter following a 3-1 (25-15, 16-25, 25-19, 25-23) win at Malone on Tuesday (Oct. 27) night.
 
The Eagles improve to 19-5 overall and 13-1 in the league, and the Pioneers is 4-20, 2-10.
 
Three AU players ended Tuesday's match with double-digit digs – senior libero Abbey Queen (21), sophomore defensive specialist Sydney Weickert (14) and senior setter Kylee Urban (11).
 
Urban also finished the night with 28 assists, four service aces and four kills, fellow senior setter Marin Dixon added 13 assists, and both junior outside hitter Samantha Young (12) and freshman outside hitter Haley Balo (11) picked up double-digit kills in the victory.
