KIRKSVILLE  - - Ali Patterson, Allie Brak and Abby Heise combined for 37 of Truman's 53 kills, as the 18th-ranked Bulldogs awoke from an early slumber to defeat McKendree (Ill.) 3-1 on Sunday afternoon in Pershing Arena.

The Bulldogs (8-5, 3-1 GLVC) won their third straight conference match, rebounding from a first set 25-20 loss by shutting down McKendree 25-13, 25-16, and 25-19 in the final three frames. After the Bearcats (2-10, 1-3 GLVC) hit .200 in the opening set, the Bulldog defense ratcheted it up, holding MCK to just an .073 mark the rest of the way for a match mark of .101.

Meanwhile, on the offensive side of the net, Truman hit an even .200 for the match, getting a 13-kill, .462 outing by Patterson. The sophomore middle added four block assists and a pair of aces to lead all players with 17 points.
