Western Kentucky's volleyball team claimed its third weekend tournament title across the first four weeks of the season by sweeping Northern Illinois 3-0 (25-12, 25-20, 25-18) on Saturday at the Buckeye Invitational in Columbus, Ohio.

The Lady Toppers climbed to 13-2 overall by topping their sixth opponent on the year that appeared in last year’s NCAA Tournament.

WKU's Rachel Anderson was named the Buckeye Invitational MVP after posting a team-best 43 kills on a .479 attack rate. Alyssa Cavanaugh (41 kills) and Jessica Lucas (12.0 assists/set, 23 digs) joined their fellow All-American on the weekend’s All-Tournament Team.
