Home Love Lifts ACU To Commanding Sweep

Railey Dykstra/Sydney Shaw went 2-0 on Friday, winning 4 sets by 35 combined points
Glendale, Ariz. - The Lady Firestorm relished their first two matches at home, defeating Benedictine Mesa and Park Gilbert while only conceding a single point on Friday. None of the counting five pairs required more than two sets and only one set between the two matches needed a tie breaker.

All three of ACU's top pairs went 2-0, Railey Dykstra/Sydney Shaw pulling off the most dominant wins in the four slot (margin of 35 points between the four sets) to improve their season record to 8-4. 

The number three pair of Eliana Cho/Brianna Boeckman had the honor of clinching the match against Benedictine Mesa with a 21-9, 21-16 body of work. Having lost the threes in the second match against Park Gilbert, the number one duo of Misty McCall/Mia Scheepens took care of business with back-to-back 21-15 sets.

With the entire team watching, the five pair of Amaya Brown/Emily Katzer closed out a competitive 21-16, 21-17 match to earn the Firestorm a fourth point and put an exclamation point on a season-sweep of the Buccaneers.
