OUAZ Sweeps Menlo to Run Winning Streak to 15

SURPRISE, Ariz. – The record winning streak from No. 2 OUAZ men's volleyball reached 15 as the Spirit swept No. 5 Menlo 3-0 on Saturday afternoon at Faith Arena.

Menlo (15-4, 4-3 GSAC) fell behind early in set two before pulling even at 12-12. The Spirit countered with six straight points to spark a 13-5 run to close out the set. They would make another run in the third set, turning an 11-11 tie into a 19-14 advantage that was enough to complete the sweep.
