WEATHERFORD, Okla. – In front of a home crowd that included several former members of the SWOSU Volleyball program, the current squad set a new single-season record for victories (16) and extended a school-record winning streak to five games with wins over Henderson State and Panhandle State on Saturday at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.
 
The Bulldogs improve to 16-8 on the year and 8-3 in Great American Conference play as they have now won five straight games and nine of their last ten dating back to early October. SWOSU also improves to 8-1 on their home court this season and they remain tied for third in the league standings, one game out of second place.
 
"We've done a good job of holding home court this week and building momentum as we head into the final stretch of the season," SWOSU Head Coach Josh Collins said. "It was great to get to bring back former members of the SWOSU Volleyball team and let them see our current team in action. It's very meaningful for our team to get that type of support from our alumni."
