WKU picks up two conference wins in return to Diddle

WKU made a long-awaited return to Diddle Arena this weekend and picked up a pair of 3-0 wins over Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee.

The two wins allowed the Lady Toppers to tie a conference record with 29-straight wins over Conference USA teams, including 47-straight home wins over conference opponents.

“We’re always trying to accomplish things that haven’t been done before,” senior right-side hitter Sydney Engle said on Sunday. “It’s not at the forefront of our minds to break records, but it’s definitely a good feeling and I couldn’t be any prouder of my teammates.”

The Lady Toppers began the weekend slate with a 3-0 win over LA Tech despite a ‘mediocre’ offensive performance, which was saved by the WKU defense.
