PAINESVILLE, Ohio - The Trevecca Nazarene University volleyball team (12-13, 8-5 Great Midwest) won their second road Great Midwest game match in as many days with a 3-0 sweep of Lake Erie College (3-20, 2-10) at the Jerome T. Osborne Center.
 
The Trojans strengthened their hold on second place in the Great Midwest South Division.
 
The Trojans host two important matches next week when Northwood and Hillsdale visit the Trojan Fieldhouse.

Emilee McDonald opened the second with a service ace, the fourth for the Trojans to that point, but the Storm roared back with their biggest led of the match. LEC outscored the Trojans 5-1 to build a 5-2 advantage. LEC lead 11-10 when TNU turned the set in their favor with a 12-1 run that put the Trojans up for good at 22-12.
