Every game this season is a must-win for the ACU volleyball team, and so far, the women are playing that way.

The Wildcats have 10 straight wins after victories Thursday and Saturday night. The Wildcats easily shut out Midwestern State on Thursday despite the fact Midwestern entered the game only one ranking behind the second-place Wildcats in the Lone Star Conference. Shawna Hines and Jordan Schilling both recorded double-digit figures in kills to lead the Wildcats to victory. Hines added eight blocks, and Schilling posted a double-double with 16 kills. Ijeoma Moronu gave the ‘Cats 38 assists in another outstanding performance. Saturday’s match against Cameron, however, proved to be a nail-biter.

“Thursday was gorgeous; Saturday, not so much,” said Head Coach Kellen Mock. “But a win is a win, and we’ll take it.”

After the Wildcats built a 2-0 set lead, the Cameron Aggies stormed back with two set wins to force a decisive fifth set.

“Cameron is the type of team that doesn’t die,” Mock said. “They took the momentum in the third game. We need to adjust quicker and not give up the momentum.”

Kills by Schilling and Jennie Hutt helped put away the Aggies in the fifth set. ACU scored the final four points in the set to win 15-10.
