LAKE CHARLES—McNeese volleyball extended its winning streak to four matches with a straight set win (25-21, 25-16, 25-13) over Grambling Friday morning in the opening match of the Cowgirl Round Robin. McNeese ended Friday's action with another straight set (25-20, 25-15, 25-20) win over Louisiana-Monroe to improve to 7-4 on the year.
 
"It was great to get two wins today and to be able to play some different people each match," said head coach Ashleigh Fitzgerald. "I thought we served with a lot of aggression throughout the day, and while we still have a lot to clean up and fine tune, I was happy we played hard enough and in-tune enough to pull out two sweeps."
 
Against Grambling, Alexis Lambert and Regan Stiawalt paced the Cowgirls with 12 and 10 kills, respectively while Lauren Burt ended the match with a team high .545 hitting percent on seven kills, one error in 11 attempts.
 
Libero Angela McGownd continued her solid defense with 25 digs while setter Caitlin Sharrock dished out 33 assists.
 
Lambert ended her day with a season high 16 kills and a .333 hitting percent against the Warhawks. Setter Caitlin Sharrock dished out 31 assists to go along with 10 digs for her first double double of the season. Angela McGownd led all players with 18 digs and Allison Lippert and Macee Krpec were both credited with four blocks apiece.
 
McNeese will travel to Monroe on Sunday to face the Warhawks in a 1 p.m. match in its final tune-up before starting Southland Conference action at Southeastern Louisiana next Thursday.
