Oberlin, Ohio- The Oberlin College volleyball team capped their winning streak at six after falling to John Carroll on Friday night. The Blue Streaks got the best of the Yeowomen, overpowering the home team in a 3-0 (25-11, 25-15, 25-20) victory. The Yeowomen, who now sit at an overall record of 6-2, will reset now for their double header tomorrow as the Oberlin Invite continues.
 
Standing out against the Blue Streaks was Andréa Jones with double-digit kills (10) and five digs. Taylor Gwynne led the team in assists with 18 while Jillian Jendsen added a pair of her own.
 
Oberlin got off to a slow start in the opening set as John Carroll got up 10-2 early. A string of points, led by Lucy Myers with a kill and an ace, brought Oberlin back within two, but the Blue Streaks ultimately prevailed as Oberlin suffered untimely errors. Set two looked to be better as Oberlin held strong with their opponent but again, JCU withstood the attacks of the Yeowomen and went up 2-0 in the match.
 
Needing a big win in the third set, Cami Sweet opened Oberlin's scoring efforts as Iyanna Lewis and Jones added to the score in the following serves. Tied at 9-9, the Blue Streaks got ahead on a couple of big runs before the two foes met at 24-19. In a final effort to keep the match alive, Jendsen set up Jones for a kill but it was too little too late as John Carroll took the match, 3-0.
 
The Yeowomen have a quick turnaround as they play a pair of matches tomorrow, September 17. In the morning's first battle, the Yeowomen take on Haverford at 11am. The Crimson and Gold rest for lunch then hit the court again for a battle with Chatham at 3pm. Both matches will have a live stream available here and live stats available here.
