CLEVELAND, Ga. (Oct. 8, 2019) – The Truett McConnell University women's volleyball team recorded their third sweep in a row on Tuesday night against Appalachian Athletic Conference foe Brenau University (25-20, 25-14, 25-17) inside the TMU Bear Cave. The Lady Bears are now 12-13, 8-6 AAC on the year.

PLAY-BY-PLAY
Two TMU 5-0 runs in game one put the Lady Bears ahead enough to not fall behind when Brenau went on strong run themselves. The Golden Tigers came in from behind to trail by just two but a Ranavia Neal and Abby Maxwell kill put the Lady Bears in winning position. Game two saw TMU's most dominating performance of the night. Most notable, TMU recorded a 8-0 run, which featured three straight service aces by Bethany Ross, and the Lady Bears recorded 12 kills in comparison to Brenau's six. Another 5-0 run by TMU (23-11) proved to put the game out of reach.

The Lady Bears carried over the momentum to lead 7-1 from the start. However, it was a Harris Anne Walker service ace and two straight kills by freshman Audrey Henderson that sealed the sweep in the end.

LEADERS, LEE'S CAREER NIGHT
Junior Hannah Lee recorded her 1,000th career dig with 10 on the night, which moved her career total to 1,006. Fellow junior Abby Mumpower and sophomore Bethany Ross led with 13 digs apiece.
