The Towson Volleyball team picked up two road victories to move its overall record to 25-4 this season.
The Towson University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams continued their hot start, with both teams picking up wins against George Washington this past weekend.
The women’s team remained undefeated, picking up a 192-101 win over GWU at Burdick Pool.
The Tigers are now 7-0 overall, including a 3-0 record in conference action.
“It’s great to beat a team that’s very talented,” head coach Pat Mead said. “I think we had some people who stepped up today and took advantage of the opportunity today with it being the last home meet of the fall semester.”
Seniors Amanda Barber and Victoria Oslund led Towson with four victories apiece. Junior Jenna Van Camp also picked up three individual victories.
The men’s team earned a 195-74 victory over George Washington to improve its’ overall record to 5-1 and 2-0 in CAA competition.
Jon Burr grabbed three individual victories along with a relay win. John Gartland picked up three overall victories.
“Today was a good meet but we need more of the new names to step up if we’re going to be really competitive at the end of the year,” Mead said. “We’ll look for our next meet, the Bucknell Invitational, for some swimmers to step up.”
Both teams return to action on Nov. 21, as they travel to Bucknell for a three-day invitational.
Volleyball back on track with two straight wins
After a heartbreaking loss last weekend to the College of Charleston, the Towson volleyball team got back on track with two straight road wins.
On Friday, the Tigers took down William & Mary, 3-1, to complete a season sweep of the Tribe.

Pa’akaula had 18 kills while Iosia hammered home 17 kills in the victory.
The team also had big weekend from senior libero Paige Sekerak, who won CAA Defensive Player of the Week for the first time this season. It’s the third time in her career the senior has picked up the award.
Sekerak had 52 digs, seven assists and one kill in both games this weekend. Earlier this season, Sekerak set a school record for most career digs.
