When asked about her volleyball squad, the first word out of Coach Peggy Martin’s mouth was “special.” A school-record 15-0 start, a No. 24 national ranking, the first in the school’s history, and an upset of the No. 2 ranked team in the NAIA are just some of the things that the volleyball team has accomplished so far. Led by right side hitter, senior Yiting Cao, the Lady Badgers volleyball team pushed its record to 14-0 by defeating the Lee University Flames (72, 2-1 SSAC) 3-2 on Saturday at the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center. It was the first time that the Badgers had ever taken a set from the Flames, who came into the game ranked No. 2 in the nation. The match didn’t start well for the Badgers, who lost a closely decided first set 25-23 due to excellent serving from the Flames. The Flames then jumped to a 6-0 lead in the second set, but the Badgers rallied to take the set 25-19 and even the match at one game apiece. In the third set, the Badgers were once again led by Cao’s hitting, who with the help of sophomore setter, Taryn Nash, recorded 34 kills. The Badgers won the set 25-16 to take a 2-1 lead going into the fourth set. The Flames stormed back to tie the match see BaDgERS
