GRANTHAM, Pa. - The Arcadia University women's volleyball team extended its win streak to six in emphatic fashion Wednesday night at Messiah, positing a straight-sets victory before heading into the off-weekend prior to the resumption of MAC Commonwealth play. Lauren Enfield posted a match-high 14 kills in the effort, paired with 35 assists from Julia Paliwodzinski to down the Falcons on the road.

HOW IT HAPPENED
-The Knights raced out to a 5-1 lead in the first set, but quickly found themselves down a point after Messiah took off on a 5-0 run to lead, 8-7.
