The Eagles began the week with a three-set win over Midwest Region foe Trevecca Nazarene University in their "Dig for the Cure" match last Tuesday before earning a five-set, come-from-behind road win over William Jewell College Friday night. Truman State University, however, ended USI's three-match winning streak Saturday afternoon, pinning a four-set decision on the Eagles' resume.

Last week's leaders. Sophomore outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) averaged 3.33 kills per set to lead the Eagles' attackers last week, while senior middle hitter Te'Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) averaged 2.75 kills and 0.67 blocks per frame as well as a .333 attacking percentage.
