DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake volleyball went wire-to-wire in their three-set win over the visiting Belmont Bruins earlier this evening (25-16, 25-13, 25-20). The Bulldogs earned their fifth-consecutive win, and fourth-straight sweep, to improve to 19-6 overall and pick up their 10th win in conference play.
Drake benefitted from early action in all three sets. The Bulldogs opened the match on an 8-1 run to set the tone for the night. Belmont could not keep up with the Bulldogs' ferocious attack as Drake continued to hammer away and go up 20-9. The Bruins provided some resistance later in the frame with a 6-0 run of their own, but the set was well out of reach as Drake rattled off another four unanswered scores to take the first, 25-16.
