Southwestern’s volleyball team rebounded from Wednesday’s 3-0 loss to 12th-ranked DMACC by dispatching Wentworth Community College (Mo.) here Thursday, 25-17, 25-20, 25-16.

The passing was more crisp than in Wednesday’s defeat, leading to much better attack numbers. After only five setting assists for kills against DMACC, freshman Molly Schimp had 29 assists in the three sets Thursday. The leading benefactor was freshman Alex Duffy, who finished with 12 kills. Lily Lower tallied seven kills and four blocks.

“We passed a lot better than last night,” SWCC coach Melissa Blessington said. “They did have some good, aggressive serving. But I thought we just reacted better and realized that’s what we needed to improve. The girls had a high hitting percentage as a result.”
