JACKSONVILLE, Ill. – After a historic night at Webster that saw Jessica Diehl set a new school mark for hitting percentage, the Golden Eagle volleyball team split their games Saturday at the MacMurray Quad to move their record to 13-8 overall and 7-4 in conference.

In game two, the Golden Eagles opened up hot taking the first two sets 29-27 and 25-23 to win their 10^th and 11^th straight sets leading back to last Saturday's match with Westminster. However, Greenville would win the next two sets 25-12 and 25-18 to force a fifth. SU raced out to an early 7-3 advantage, but the Panthers responded with a 7-1 run to take a 10-8 lead. The Golden Eagles showed grit, fighting back to tie the set at 14-14, but Greenville took the next two points taking the set and match.
