Pioneer netters snap 5-match losing streak with sweep of MSOE

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. - Grinnell College's volleyball team not only snapped a five-match losing streak, but did so in dominant fashion Saturday.

The Pioneers swept Milwaukee School of Engineering in three sets at the Augustana Invitational, winning by scores of 29-27, 25-20 and 25-22.

Keira Sullivan '27 pounded down 10 kills for the Pioneers and All-Tourrnament Team selection Millie Leonard '27 added eight. Kylie-Ann Smith '27 was credited with 18 assists, while Leonard, Gracie Lim '28 and Emilee Appel '29 served up two aces apiece. Lim led the charge in digs with 10.

The Pioneers trailed the first set 25-24, 26-25 and 27-26 before kills by Sullivan and Leticia Machado '29 and attack error by MSOE gave Grinnell the win.

Grinnell used a five-point run early in the second set to take command and never looked back. The Pioneers built a 14-8 edge in the third set, but MSOE rallied and went ahead 20-19.

The Pioneers later trailed 22-20 before finishing the set, and match, with a five-point run that included two kills from Sullivan and one by Nicole Mlynski '26.

Grinnell followed with a three-set loss to Bethel University. Statistics weren't immediately available from that match.

The Pioneers will bring a 4-7 mark into Wednesday's 7 p.m. match at Simpson College.
