Denison volleyball assured themselves at least a .500 season following Saturday's 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-14) win over Case Western Reserve University from Wooster, Ohio.  The victory moves DU's record to 13-12 overall as they embark on next week's North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.

Big Red senior Emily Marguerite got the drama taken care of early as she became Denison's new career leader in digs.  Marguerite entered the contest tied with Jaime Salay '98 with 2,155 total digs.  She would end the match with 21 digs, moving her career total to 2,176.

DU got off to a fast start, winning the opening set by eight.  Denison hit 31 percent in the opening frame posting 15 kills in 39 attempts.

A three-point win in the second framed up a commanding 11-point win in the third.  The Big Red posted an outstanding .412 attack percentage in the third set.

Denison was led by Brittany Perry who posted 11 kills off 31 attacks. Rachele Lock followed with 10 kills while Elena Lein and Leah Reinfranck posted nine and eight, respectively.  Jessica Borsani finished with 20 assists and Kaileigh Poe contributed two aces.
