OSHKOSH, Wis.- On a night where the UW-Oshkosh women's volleyball team honored senior Amelia Hust's father, Bill, in his fight against cancer. The Titans added another win to their undefeated record.

The Titans (22-0, 4-0 WIAC), ranked No. 2 in this week's American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, beat conference rival UW-Eau Claire (9-10, 1-3 WIAC) 3-1 with set scores of 25-18, 16-25, 25-15 and 25-17.

Set two started out 4-4, matching the first set, however it was the Blugolds that went on an ambush for the early lead. UW-Eau Claire was able to build an 11-5 lead and despite a big Oshkosh rally to shorten the deficit to 14-11, the Titans couldn't complete the comeback as the Blugolds took set two 25-16.

It was all Oshkosh in the third set. The Titans went on a 10-1 run to turn a 5-5 tie into a 15-6 lead, thanks to two kills from Olivia Breunig and six attack errors from the Blugolds. Eau Claire was able to cut the lead down to 19-16 and didn't get any closer as Olivia Breunig punctuated a 6-1 run with the match-winning kill.
