INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- No. 18 Indiana Wesleyan University volleyball had little trouble on Friday night in a 3-0 victory over Marian (Ind.) for their eighth consecutive victory.

Indiana Wesleyan traveled to Indianapolis and left with a 3-0 win by scores of 25-19, 25-18, 25-9. IWU is 10-2 overall and 3-0 in Crossroads League play while Marian drops to 2-2 on the year and 2-1 in league competition.

“I was so proud of the girls tonight and how they kept their poise in a very energetic and rowdy Marian crowd,” said Wildcat head coach Candace Moats. “The communication on the court was outstanding. We started slow and got behind but what I saw next made me proud and that was an attitude to refuse to lose. I really felt the girls were 15 players playing for one.”

The Wildcats featured a balanced offensive attack as six different players recorded four or more kills. Kristin Predajna (SR/Fishers, Ind.) earned a match-high nine kills in addition to a .467 attack percentage. Bianca Cifaldi (JR/Itasca, Ill.) finished with eight kills and an .800 attack percentage while Morgan Miller (SO/Goshen, Ind.) and Sarah Collicott (JR/West Lafayette, Ind.) each totaled seven kills.
