WWU volleyball takes conference lead after sweep at home

Avenging Western's only Great Northwest Athletic Conference loss was a small luxury for WWU. Plain and simple, coach Diane Flick's Vikings weren't about to lose to their biggest in-state rival at Carver Gym.

"I'm sure the loss adds fuel to the fire, but it's a Central-Western rivalry," Flick said. "If it was a game of tiddlywinks or chess, I think we'd both want to beat each other."
