COLUMBIA, KY - No. 5-ranked Lindsey Wilson ran its home-winning streak to 43 straight with a sweep of visiting Cumberland (TN) Thursday night at Biggers Sports Center.



The Blue Raiders (20-1, 8-1 in the Mid-South Conference) hit a season-high .484 as a team while committing just four attack errors to remain atop the MSC standings. Cumberland slips to 16-11 overall and 4-7 in the MSC with the loss.

Lindsey Wilson played a nearly perfect opening set in a 25-13 win over the Phoenix.

The Blue Raiders hit .567 as a team, committing just one attacking error in 30 swings during the set. Carolynne Silva produced five kills in her five swings to lead the attack.

Silva and company methodically helped the Blue Raiders build their lead during the set by using a pair of three-point and one five-point spurt to take the 1-0 lead.

A 9-0 run helped Lindsey Wilson sprint away from the Phoenix in a 25-11 second-set win.

With the Blue Raiders leading 13-10, Grace Blomstedt and Makenzie Montano led Lindsey Wilson on the game-deciding run. Blomstedt recorded a kill, a block and two block assists while Montano added a kill and two block assists in the nine-point run.

Lauren Streets provided an emphatic kill to end the set -- one of five kills for her during the second frame.

Blomstedt and Streets had four kills each in the third and final set to help the Blue Raiders close out the match with a 25-14 win. Streets ended the night with a match-high 13 kills while Blomstedt provided eight.

Another late-set surge enabled the Blue Raiders to build a double-digit lead en route to the win.

Streets did not commit an error in her 18 attacks during the match to lead the team with a .722 hitting percentage. Seven different Blue Raiders recorded an attack percentage over .300 for the match.

Montano -- the reigning NAIA Setter of the Week -- ended with a match-high 39 assists, six kills, five digs and three block assists. Blomstedt added one solo and five block assists to her stat line. Caitlyn Tino chipped in a match-high 20 digs.
