Eagles drop showdown with DMACC
Kirkwood's hopes of winning the conference volleyball title suffered a severe jolt Wednesday night.
The 15th-ranked Eagles were swept by No. 7 DMACC, 25-21, 25-19, 25-17, in an ICCAC match at Johnson Hall.
The DMACC Bears took sole possession of the conference lead with a 6-1 record with one match left in the league campaign. Kirkwood fell to 5-2 and could still tie for the league title, but needs help.
The Eagles battled the Bears on near-even terms for most of each set, but faltered down the stretch each time.
