In the second match-up between the two teams in five days, Ashland University's volleyball team topped Lake Erie, 3-0 (25-11, 25-15, 25-16), on Tuesday (Sept. 29) night at the Sherrill Hudson Court at Kates Gymnasium.
 
Thanks to their 10^th win in the last 11 outings, the Eagles improve to 13-2 overall and 8-0 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. AU's 15-match start is its best since also beginning 13-2 in 2019.
 
"It was a great team win," said first-year Ashland head coach Alicia Wood, who earned her 100^th career win overall on Saturday (Sept. 26) at home vs. Ursuline – and got started on the next 100 on Tuesday. "Very proud of our girls for staying composed tonight.
 
"I'm just focused on getting my 100^th win as an Eagle. That's my vision, that's my goal."
 
The match was the only conference contest on Tuesday (two other teams played non-league matches), meaning the Eagles remain one of three Great Midwest teams still undefeated in conference action.
 
Tuesday's victory was the Eagles' 10^th sweep of the season, tied for AU's highest total since 2024 (also 10).
 
The Eagles hit .316 as a team in the win, their fourth-highest percentage so far in 2026. Junior middle blocker Livi Miller (.500) and junior outside hitter Sara Krizsa (.444) each had a team-high nine kills.
 
With 12 digs, senior libero Abbey Queen now has 1,350 as an Eagle – five away from tying Jennifer Bartlett (1,355) for fifth place on the program's all-time list.
 
The Storm hit .087 in the match, marking the sixth time AU has kept a team to hitting less than .100 this fall.
 
Ashland's winning streak over Lake Erie (5-9, 3-5) was extended to 12 matches on Tuesday night.
 
The third of four straight home matches for AU will be Friday (Oct. 2) at 6 p.m. vs. Malone (4-10, 2-3). That will be the Eagles' Attack Cancer and Pink Out match.
