Firebirds Collect CCIW Road Win over Augustana

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Returning to the Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) play on Wednesday, the No. 24 Carthage women's volleyball team swept Augustana (Ill.) 3-0 at Carver PE Center. 

Carthage (10-5, 1-1 CCIW) began the first with a quick 10-7 advantage with a kill from Liv Carel. After Augustana (Ill.) (4-10, 0-1 CCIW) got within two, the Firebirds used an 11-5 run extending the lead to 23-15, sparked by a kill and ace from Haley Horner. The Vikings shrank the deficit to two before a service and attack error gave Carthage the set 25-18. 

It was all Firebirds in the second starting with a 12-4 lead. After a Vikings attack error made it 17-10, a quick 5-3 run extended the advantage to 22-13. Though a late push for the home team got Augustana (Ill.) within five, Jenna Millen connected on a kill giving Carthage a two-set lead 25-19. 

Again the Firebirds jumped out to a quick four-point margin with a kill from Horner. The visitors outscored the Vikings 13-6 making it 21-10. Two kills from Horner and a kill from Leena Ajibola sealed the victory for Carthage as they won 25-15. 

Next up, the Firebirds will participate in the Wisconsin-Whitewater Tournament beginning with a rematch against No. 8 Wisconsin-Whitewater on Friday, September 24 at 7 p.m. 

Head Coach Leanne Ulmer

"Feels good to get in the win column in the CCIW. Haley Horner was our offensive force tonight. Jenna Millen and Nicole Acton had some big blocks. It's a tough midweek road match. Happy to get it done!!"
