RANGELY, Colo. (October 10, 2019) – With a decisive, 3-0, win over Colorado Northwestern on Thursday, the sixth-ranked Snow College women's volleyball team continues to re-write the record books. The Badgers blanked the Spartans, 25-15, 25-14, 25-13, en route to the team's 23^rd win of the season. With the win, the Badgers hold on to first place in the Scenic West Athletic Conference standings with a 4-0 record.
 
Tonight's victory marks the most wins through 25 games in school history during the rally scoring era. The shut-out victory also marks the 17^th three-set victory on the season, including eight three-set wins over the past nine matches.
 
The Badgers hit .316 for the match, led by freshman Lydia Montague who had eight kills on nine attempts (.889) in just two sets. Montague was also credited with a match-high three blocks.

She, along with Ellee Anderson, Tessa Roberts and Sarah Morley each had two aces for Snow.
 
"CNCC does a really nice job in serve-receive," Snow College head coach Jeff Reynolds said. "It took us a minute to get our serve game going. They have some really nice passers. I was pleased with the way we were able to move the ball offensively and score against their scrappy defense. This team just continues to take care of business, night in and night out."
 
The Badgers will next travel to Utah State Eastern on Saturday. The Badgers will face the Eagles, who are currently ranked No. 13 and own a 22-6 record, including a 3-1 mark against league opponents.
 
"Saturday's game will be a challenge," Reynolds said. "They usually have a nice crowd and their team feeds off that energy. In addition, they're pretty darn good players. It's going to be a good match. We'll have to be at our best."
