Rockford, Ill. - Momentum can do wonders. Just ask the tenth-ranked ICC Volleyball program (25-10). A five-set win over D1 Lake Land last week was followed up by a thrilling five-set win at #6 Heartland. The Cougars rode that momentum into a Saturday tri-match at Rock Valley College, a frequent opponent, but now also a NJCAA D2 newcomer. The Cougars rolled against Division-III Harper before edging the hosts in a five-set battle. Statistical leaders for both matches are below.
