MADISON, Wis. – Women's Volleyball returned home to the Todd Wehr Edgedome Thursday evening. They kicked off NACC action with the Lakeland Muskies visiting town. The Eagles (9-3, 1-0 NACC) left little room for doubt in a 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-14) win over the Muskies (9-6, 0-1).
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After Lakeland took the first couple of points, Edgewood University started to take over the first set. A 5-1 rally put the Eagles ahead 5-3. After the Muskies drew even at 6-6, Edgewood University stormed ahead on a 10-2 explosion. Lakeland had few answers for an Eagles offense hitting .290 in the set as they took a 1-0 lead in the match.
 
- Edgewood University kept surging in the second set, kicking things off with a commanding 12-3 lead and never looking back. Once again the Eagles hit .290 in the frame as they cruised to a 2-0 lead in the match.
 
- The Muskies hung tough early in the third set, three in a row pulling them within 7-5. The Edgewood University offense once again took over, a 5-1 rally pushing them up 16-10. Finishing strong, the Eagles put together an 8-2 sprint to close out the set and match with an exclamation point.
