WILDCATS RETURN TO NAIA TITLE GAME BEHIND WILLIAMS 25 KILLS

SIOUX CITY, IA — Indiana Wesleyan Women's Volleyball emerged victorious in a five-set thriller over Eastern Oregon at Tyson Events Center, winning 25-20, 23-25, 19-25, 25-15, 15-11. Freshman Shae WIlliams led the Wildcats to victory with a career high 25 kills and a .477 hitting percentage, Williams' career high entering the match was 17 kills. Senior Cadee Notter reached 2000 career digs in the victory, becoming just the sixth Wildcat to reach that number. Indiana Wesleyan is in a position to win their third title in three years, joining only three teams in NAIA history to have won three or more consecutive titles. The last team to accomplish this feat was former NAIA member Fresno Pacific (Calif.), who won four consecutive titles from 2007 to 2010.
