#18 WolfPack make short work of rival Rock Valley

Sweep gives Madison College eighth straight win, tying season-best streak

ROCKFORD, ILL. - The #18-ranked Madison College women's volleyball team rode a wave of momentum into rival Rock Valley College's gym Thursday night and left with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 25-16) Region 4 sweep. The victory extends the WolfPack's current win streak to eight matches, tying for the team's best stretch of the season after they opened 2025 with an 8-0 record. The Golden Eagles still lead the all-time series by a 46-31-1, with the Pack winning three of the last five meetings.

Tied at 5-5 in the opening set, Madison College ripped off eight straight points, a run that included a kill and a block by freshman setter Allie Andrews. The WolfPack held that differential the remainder of the set to win by nine.

Rock Valley College (4-16) took the early control in set two with a five-point surge to go ahead 9-6. The visitors eventually tied the set at 14-14 after a Caylee Coggins blocks and a Kate Howe ace. Up a point at 21-20, the Pack used a RVC net violation to start a 4-0 closing run that included a kill by Makayla Dallas and a block from Howe.

Madison College raced out to a 9-2 advantage to open the third set, with five of the points coming via hitting errors by the Golden Eagles. The lead grew to as much as ten points at 21-11 before the Pack finished off the sweep with a Sam Schultz kill. 



Cuba City, Wisconsin, native, Ella Vosberg was tops offensively with 13 kills and a .429 attack percentage on 21 attempts. Dallas and Schultz were next with seven kills each.

Andrews, a former Darlington HS athlete, finished with 32 assists, four kills, and seven digs. She's posted 25 or more assists in 12 consecutive matches.

Schultz and libero Avery Agnew tied for the team lead in digs with 13 each, while Cora Webster added eight. Agnew and Howe each served up two aces, while Coggins led the way in blocks with a pair.

Collectively, Madison College racked up a 40-29 edge in kills and hit .366, compared to .051 by Rock Valley. The WolfPack also amassed five aces, four blocks, and 51 digs.
