WISE, Va. – The Lincoln Memorial University women's volleyball team sealed their ninth victory of the 2021 fall campaign Friday evening on the road against the Cavaliers of UVA-Wise, dominating on three-straight sets for the sweep.
 
The Lady Railsplitters (9-18, 5-12 SAC) completed their second sweep over UVA-Wise in the space of two months, after LMU previously defeated the Cavaliers 3-0 (Sept. 24).

UVA-Wise finally hit the 20-mark in the third and final set, but still fell short of the victorious Lady Railsplitters (25-20).
