OWENSBORO, KY. – The Kentucky Wesleyan College volleyball team severed-up a happy Homecoming on Saturday by defeating Ohio Valley 3-0. Alexa Davis filled-in offensively and produced 10 kills in the Great Midwest victory.
 
The Panthers (11-8, 5-5 G-MAC) made short work in the first set by going on a 12-0 run, taking a 15-5 lead. Autumn Harris and Davis each collected a pair of kills in the rally. After a 25-13 win of the opening set, Wesleyan continued momentum into the second, starting with a 5-1 run.
 
The Fighting Scots (5-11, 3-9 G-MAC) fell behind by as many as eight points, 12-4, but a run through the middle of the set brought the Panthers some tense moments. OVU trailed 19-17 late, but back-to-back kills by Kylie Foster and Davis provided enough of a cushion to finish the set and build a 2-0 lead. The Panthers won the second frame 25-18.
 
Wesleyan held an attacking percentage of .219 in the final stanza to complete the sweep, 25-20. Davis hit .300 on the day with 10 kills.
