Volleyball Sweeps Ohio Dominican 3-0

The Northwood volleyball team posted its fourth straight win Saturday afternoon (September 22), sweeping Ohio Dominican 3-0. Set scores were 25-10, 25-19, 25-15.

Northwood is now 9-3 overall, 4-0 in the GLIAC. Ohio Dominican falls to 5-6 overall, 1-3 in the GLIAC.

It marks the first time since 2004 the Timberwolves have started GLIAC play 4-0.
