The Harding volleyball team is currently on a seven-game winning streak that has included six different matches in which the Lady Bisons have swept their opponents in three straight sets.
Ever since dropping their match against an 11th ranked Washburn University team in Fort Smith, Ark. last month, Harding has been playing motivated volleyball under second year coach Meredith Fear.
“You gotta have some adversity in there somewhere,” Fear said.
The Lady Bisons have extended the two winning streaks that were already active for Harding.
Currently the Lady Bisons have a conference winning streak of 23 consecutive wins that stretches all the way back to two seasons ago when they fell short in the Great American Conference tournament championship game to Arkansas Tech University. Harding has racked up 21 consecutive wins in home matches, a streak that dates back to two seasons ago as well after a loss to Arkansas Tech.
“I’m very impressed about how well we are performing, especially at home,” junior Liv Savage said. “I want to just keep increasing the streak and never let anything get to us.”
Senior Mollie Arnold has had 300 kills in the season so far, and senior Alyssa Short has had 51 blocks. Setter Taryn Eubank has earned GAC setter of the week honors twice in the past three weeks including this past week, as announced on Wednesday.
The team will spend this weekend on the road at the Missouri Southern Tournament in Joplin, Mo. Their first game is against Southwestern Baptist University today at 12 p.m. and then will face off against Emporia State at 4 p.m. They will wrap up the tournament tomorrow as they will play Northwest Missouri State University at 11 a.m. and then the University of Central Missouri at 1 p.m.
