DU women’s volleyball upped their winning streak to four with a win on the road against Summit League opponent Western Illinois University (WIU) on Oct. 9.

The Pioneers won in three straight games (25-18, 25-20, 25-14), coming from behind to win the first two. The match brought DU to a 17-4 overall record and a 5-1 record in the Summit League, leaving them in second place going into their game on Oct. 11 against then-Summit League leaders University of Nebraska-Omaha.

The first two matches against Omaha were close, but Denver won the battle for both of them before breaking away in the third game to sweep Omaha 25-21, 29-27, 25-14.

Due to Piyusha Boteju’s (Euless, Texas) injury, Monique Domme (Colorado Springs, Colorado) was the only setter, recording 31 assists. Moni Currujedo (El Paso, Texas) and Sarah Schmid (Highlands Ranch, Colorado) led Denver with seven kills each.

The win against Omaha means that Denver now leads the Summit League with a 6-1 league record and an 18-4 overall record. The Pioneers also now have a five game winning streak.

The Pioneers’ next game is versus Oral Roberts University at the Hamilton Gymnasium at 2 p.m. on Oct. 16.
