It appears as if the MSCD women's volleyball team and its great depth will be tested as they move deeper into its schedule. On Saturday, the 'Runners went up against the Fort Lewis Raiders in a Colorado Athletic Conference match, and like their previous conference matches, the Roadrunners ended it quickly. "We like to get out in three games," said Senior outside hitter Stacy Goldsberry . . So far this season, the 'Runners have yet to lose a game at home. All of their matches at the Auraria futents Center have only gone to three games. MSCD's recent success moved the Roadrunners up a notch, to No. 7, in the NCAA Division II rankings. Although the 'Runners opponents, the Raiders, had won only two matches this year, taking them lightly could have been a big mistake as the Raiders took West Texas State, ranked No. 11, to four games before losing. But, there would be no major surprises for MSCD as they took the first game of the match rather easily at 15-0 behind good defense and great hitting. The second game began the same way as the 'Runners broke out to a 9-2 lead early in the match but, it was a good Ft. Lewis surge in the middle of the game that got them to within five points at 12-7. The Roadrunners, from that point, took over the match behind Junior middle blocker Wynema Hunter and

sophomore middle blocker Crissy Canada as the Raiders had no answers for either one of them and their outstanding play at the net "We played pretty well," Coach Rhonda McMullen said. "The intensity level was good and we didn't let down." The third, and final, game was a carbon copy of the first as the Roadrunners continued to get good blocks at the net as well as great kills that helped MSCD take the game 15-3. "We played great," Goldsberry said. "During the week we practiced coverage and our defense during the game was good." Although MSCD won handily, the team was without three of their talented bunch as senior outside hitter Dana Stright played only the first game due to a sore shoulder. "You could tell that Dana was missing," McMullen said. "She's not a vocal leader but, she is a leader and makes a big difference." Senior middle blocker Diane Dibble missed the entire match because of a broken hand and will miss a few more games and sophomore setter Tami Barnett may miss the rest of the season because of a sho ulder injury. It still isn't known whether she may need surgery that will prematurely end her season. "We're down to just two middle blockers now," McMullen said. "But, Wynema played well as she filled in for Diane." Next for up for the Roadrunners was a rematch with the University of ColoradoColorado Springs in Colorado Springs on Monday. This time, there was no letdown in

the third game as MSCD cruised to another three game victory, 15-7, 15-5, 15-4. The team had another good performance hittingwise as they were successful on 34 percent of their hits. "We played pretty consistent and hit really well," McMullen said. 'They kept it up and didn't have any letdowns." But the loss of two players was felt.

'We played pretty consistent and hit really well. They kept it up and didn't have any letdowns.' -Coach Rhonda McMullen "It's tough playing with only two middle blockers," Stright said. "Diane does make a difference." Like the previous match with Ft. Lewis, Stright only played in the first game and rested her shoulder through the last two games. " It's still pretty sore," Stright said. "I'm just resting it during the rest of this week. It should be OK for the weekend." The team will host the MSCD Invitational Friday and Saturday. Scheduled to play are: No. 24 ranked Texas Women's University, the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and rival, Denver University.
