Volleyball routs Cleveland State in lopsided season finale

In its final match of the season, NIU volleyball (10-16, 4-12 Horizon League) swept the Cleveland State University Vikings (4-22, 1-14 Horizon) at the Convocation Center. NIU finished the season off strong in front of the fans, recording its third straight home win since Oct. 31st against Robert Morris University, while continuing its strong performance from a 3-2 win over Oakland University on Thursday. Head coach Sondra D’Amore highlighted their win over the Golden Grizzlies for helping set the tone for Friday’s sweep. “That was one of the best matches we played all year yesterday,” D’Amore said. “And obviously to be able to do it again today, we really did get pushed yesterday. I’m really proud of the growth that I saw in the team.” The Huskies commanded momentum throughout the entire match, outscoring Cleveland State and winning by scores of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-19.
