Northwestern Lady Rangers took the Southwestern Kansas Moundbuilders down Friday, winning all three sets of the opening game of the three game tournament.
Then the Lady Rangers repeated the feat twice more on Saturday, beating William Jewell College and Tabor College, 3-0 each time.
As the Friday game started, Southwestern scored first and then followed by the Rangers. It seemed like it was going to be a tough game but then the Rangers took the lead with 8-3, which took the Rangers easily to 25 points, with the set ending 25-17.
Throughout the game, the Rangers had no difficulty taking down Southwestern. In the second set they were up by 7-4 when Southwestern made a comeback and were tied with the Rangers at 10-10 for a couple minutes.
But the Rangers came back with the lead strong and finally won the set at 25-14.
With the final set, Rangers started it off with 4-1. Southwestern was being dominated as the Rangers took off with 14-9 and finally finished the match with the set at 25-16.
On Saturday morning, NWOSU beat William Jewell in three sets: 25-15, 25-20, 25-9. Then Saturday afternoon, the Rangers trounced Tabor in three sets—25-14, 25-20, 25-21— and won the tournament.
