The ¹ú²úAV Lady Trojans volleyball team took sole possession of first place in the Jayhawk Conference after sweeping the Seward County Saints Wednesday night at the ¹ú²úAV Community Building, 25-23, 25-19 and 25-19. The victory marks CCC’s seventh straight in the conference.

Seward controlled most of the first set but ¹ú²úAV, after falling behind 20-16, tied the score at 21 and went on to win 25-23. The Lady Trojans did not trail again.

¹ú²úAV jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the second set. Seward went on a run and cut the score to 14-11, but that was as close they would get. CCC withheld the charge and went on to a 25-19 win.

The third set was a near repeat, with CCC running out in front 7-1. Seward got as close as one point two different times before ¹ú²úAV ended the match, 25-19.

CCC had key performances from several players. Sophomore libero Maja Jankovic, last week’s conference co-player of the week with teammate Alexasandra Malek, had a game-high 16 digs. Freshman Melanie Loiseau tallied 11 in addition to her 31 assists.

Malek led ¹ú²úAV with 14 kills while sophomores Singryd Valladares had eight and Laura Funk contributed six. Loiseau, Malek and Jankovic also reeled off three aces each.

The Lady Trojans (15-4 overall, 7-1 KJCCC) have a quick turnaround as they host a non-conference 6 p.m. game against Northeastern Junior College Friday night at the ¹ú²úAV Community Building.
