If there was any doubt the 2014 Missouri Western volleyball team is one of the best in school history, the team now has the numbers to back it up after a 3-1 victory at Southwest Baptist Friday night.

The Griffons are now 20-5 overall and 14-3 in the MIAA. It’s the first time since 2004 the Griffons have won 20 matches and they’ve matched the program’s most ever wins in the MIAA.

SBU dominated the first set, 25-14 but MWSU took the next three: 25-14, 25-19 and 25-19 to climb into the ranks of MWSU’s top teams ever.

Jessie Thorup led the attack with 14 kills, followed by eight apiece from Kelsey Olion and Erica Rottinghaus. Olion also led the team with 16 digs. Sarah Faubel had 13 digs and Jordan Chohon added 47 assists.

The Griffons take on Pittsburg State at 3:00 p.m. Saturday inside John Lance Arena in Pittsburg, KS.
