JOLIET, Ill. – The Milwaukee Area Technical College women's volleyball team extended its winning streak to six matches Wednesday night with a 3-0 sweep of Joliet Junior College on the road, winning by scores of 25-14, 25-19 and 25-16.

The decisive victory marked the Stormers' third consecutive sweep and eighth 3-0 win of the season as MATC improved to 15-7 overall and 3-3 in true road matches.

MATC controlled the match from the opening set behind efficient offense and strong ball control. The Stormers' serve-receive unit consistently put the offense in favorable positions, helping the team cruise to its season-best sixth straight victory.

"It's always good to win on the road," Stormers head coach Shel DeLisle said. "I was pleased with our serve-receives. It was probably the best we've seen so far and that showed in our offensive efficiency."

Sophomore middle Annika Romine led the offensive attack with a team-high seven kills while hitting .357. Team captain Hope Martens directed the offense with a match-best 18 assists, while freshman outside hitter Ella Azbell contributed three kills on a .375 hitting percentage and added 10 digs.

At the net, freshman middle Dorothy Hoagland anchored the blocking effort with two solo blocks and two block assists as the Stormers totaled nine team blocks.

The win continued a strong stretch for MATC, which has now won six consecutive matches and recorded three straight sweeps. The Stormers enter October carrying momentum into the final month of the regular season.
