KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - - The Truman volleyball team grabbed a 3-1 (-20, -18, 12-25, -21) victory against Northwest Missouri State on Friday night, backed by 14 kills and 12 digs from freshman Allie Brak and a nine-kill, seven-block outing from junior Megan Sharpe.

The Bulldogs cruised through sets one and two, committing just two errors in each set and topping .375 hitting each time to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission.
