WKU volleyball sweeps Arkansas State to open conference play
September 25, 2010
The WKU volleyball team opened Sun Belt Conference play with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-13, 25-17) sweep of Arkansas State on Friday night in Jonesboro, Ark.
WKU (12-4, 1-0 Sun Belt Conference) had three players with hitting percentages above .400 and finished the match with a team hitting percentage of .343. Arkansas State (6-7, 0-1) was limited to a .124 hitting percentage.
Senior outside hitter Emily Teegarden led the Lady Topper offense with 13 kills and a .440 hitting percentage.
WKU never trailed in the first set and led by as many as 13 points in the second. It took a come-from-behind effort, however, for the Lady Toppers to seal it in the third. The set tied four times, but after jumping ahead 17-16, WKU racked up eight of the next nine points to close out the match.
The Lady Toppers return to action at 2 p.m. Saturday against Arkansas-Little Rock in Little Rock, Ark.

Ive done everything in my power, Ive said it 100 times, to be for the students, Marshall said. So, not only to win, but to hear that reaction for me by the other students is just something that shows people actually care about me [and] really support me.](https://wkuherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jadenmarshall-1200x844.jpg)
