Lady Toppers tested late in the season

Post-season play is beginning to draw near for the Lady Toppers, and the ability to finish matches has been key for the squad over the last few days.

WKU picked up a pair of 3-0 sweeps this weekend in Diddle Arena over conference opponents Texas-El Paso and Texas-San Antonio, but they did not make it easy for the Lady Toppers early on.

However, the Lady Toppers were able to use big plays, depth and experience to be able to come out clean and improve their win streak to 19-straight.

In Friday evening’s match against UTEP, WKU found itself down 21-18 late in the first set, but came back with help from two service aces from Sophia Cerino on their way to a 25-22 set one win.
