Rams earn key 3-1 win at Lawrence in MWC opener

APPLETON, Wis. – Cornell's volleyball team began its hunt for a 13th consecutive Midwest Conference title Friday evening with a 24-26, 25-23, 25-20, 25-13 victory over Lawrence at Alexander Gymnasium.

The 2025 MWC preseason favorite, Cornell (8-7, 1-0 MWC) recorded its 33rd consecutive MWC regular-season victory and beat the Vikings (14-6, 0-1 MWC) for the 14th time in a row.

After splitting the first two tightly-contested sets, the Rams led 17-15 in the pivotal third set when junior Kensie Staats orchestrated a 6-0 service run. Staats delivered four consecutive aces during that stretch and finished with a career-high five aces on the night. 

The Rams hit a red-hot .400 in the fourth set to take the match.

Sophomore Ally Olmstead slammed 14 kills on a blistering .400 hitting percentage. Mia Tubbs chipped in seven kills and four blocks. 

First-years Grace Tverberg (19 assists, 5 kills) and Selia Stein (7 blocks) established new season-highs in helping the Rams to the road win.

Ella Becker led Cornell with 16 digs. Hannah Cantwell scooped 12 digs.

Cornell served nine aces, including three by Nia Howard
