KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The University of Providence volleyball team remained at #9 in the latest iteration of the NAIA National Rankings that were released on Wednesday. It remains the highest ranking the team has reached in program history.

"I'm really pleased," head coach Arunas Duda said. "I think that's a good spot for us. There are some really quality teams up there in the Top 10. With the preseason that we had and then continuing to stay consistent throughout conference, I think it's a great spot for us."

The Argos (17-2, 4-0) are in the middle of a hot streak, earning their 10^th straight win on Tuesday after defeating in Carroll in four sets. It was the team's first game in over ten days, and you could tell they were a little rusty to start. But after dropping the first set, the team came back strong, winning the next three to secure the 3-1 victory.

"It took us a little white to find our rhythm last night," head coach Arunas Duda said. "But the girls certainly responded so well. After that first set they were down a little bit, but they came out fired up and found a rhythm again. They are playing at a high level."

The night was also special for senior libero Sacha Legros, who became the all-time career dig leader after recording 26 against the Fighting Saints (10-11, 3-2) to put her at 1,699 career digs. She is currently sixth in the nation in digs per set at 5.91.

Another big part of the winning streak has been the emergence of Jenna Thorne. The outside hitter from New Zealand currently leads the team in kills (220) and kills per set (3.44). Sadie Lott is also causing problems for opponents, recording 205 kills this year, good for 3.20 kills per set.

"I think Jenna just keeps getting better," Duda said. "I think teams are focusing on trying to stop Sadie and now Jenna is stepping up. Now we're kind of a two-headed monster offensively. Our other players are on the court are stepping up and doing their job as well. I think when you put all that together we're a lot to handle."

The Argos will plan to make it 11 straight when they take on Rocky Mountain College on Saturday. The game will begin at 2:00 p.m. in Billings, Mont.

"Everybody wants to beat a ranked team," Duda said. "Our girls are a mature group, and they know that they have to put their forward their best foot every time they have a conference match. We have to play our best every time."
