Jenna Brooks netted just the 11th hat trick in women's soccer program history in a 9-0 win over Robert Morris-Peoria. Her four goals set a new school record for goals in a game also helping set a new program mark for team goals in a game.

The Fontbonne women's soccer team is on a four game winning streak having topped Buena Vista, Oakland City, Iowa Wesleyan and MacMurray in consecutive games. They put that streak on the line this week with a game in the Wydown Showdown when they face #3 ranked Washington University-St. Louis.

Greenville's Corinne Coon recorded her 1,000th career kill in a 3-1 win over Lincoln Christian College. Coon currently has 195 kills this season, averaging 3.68 per set. She is a three time All-Conference performer and was the SLIAC Player of the Year in 2011.

On the heels of winning the Waldorf Invitational, Iowa Wesleyan's Blake Mitchell was named the USCAA Golfer of the Week. At the tournament Mitchell shot a round of 70 to win the tournament by one stroke.

The Highlander volleyball team picked up back to back wins for the first time this season with 3-0 sweeps over Harris-Stowe State University and Robert Morris University-Springfield. The Highlanders have now won three of their last four matches and return to conference play this weekend.

The Principia volleyball team extended their winning streak to four matches with wins over MacMurray, Iowa Wesleyan, Hannibal-LaGrange and Eureka. The Panthers are looking to solidify their spot in the SLIAC standings where they are currently in third place with a 6-2 record.

Spalding sophomore golfer Hunt Lenz took home the top spot in the Dan Salisbury Invitational last weekend. Lenz shot a one over 145 in the tournament, helping his team to a fourth place finish.

The Westminster men's soccer team is showing the importance of when you win. Although they have just a 3-6-1 overall record the Blue Jays are 2-0 in conference play and are just one of three undefeated teams in SLIAC play.
