The women’s volleyball team was on fire last week, scoring two wins against Lamar and McNeese. In this string of wins at home, ORU’s Lady Golden Eagles dominated the court, defeating both teams 3-0.
The seniors shined especially bright in the intense games against McNeese as senior Sheina Fernandes racked up 14 kills and senior Joana Gruber achieved her first double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs. Bruna Silva also leads the defense with a team record of 11 digs, and fellow teammate Gruber scored a team-best of three aces. The women’s volleyball team heads to Conway, Ark., on Oct. 13 to face Central Arkansas.
ORU’s Golden Eagle volleyball team started the season right with a couple of easy wins. After that, however, the team went 2-9, posting 7 losses in a row. Despite the rough stretch, the team is turning its season around and is finally becoming the team it was expected to be. ORU took two fairly easy matches at home, defeating Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State.
One reason for the early season losses is ORU is playing in the Southland Conference for the first time.

Coming into the season the ORU volleyball team wasn’t shown much respect.
