The 10th-ranked Loper vol- leyball team extended their winning streak to 14 straight matches after a battle against the Fort Hays State Tigers on Tues. night at the Health and Sports Center. Attendance was a season- high 1,911, as Loper volleyball supporters turned to watch the meeting between the two long- time RMAC rivals. "Our home record is a direct reflection of how tough our court is for opponents. We love to play here, and most of the visitors do not really believe they can win here, so that is a good combination for us,” Rick Squiers, head volleyball coach, said. “Our crowd is the best in the country for Division II, and one of the best for all of college volleyball,” Squiers said. “I am guessing there are a lot of teams who are hoping that we don't win on Fri. (against Metro) so they do not have to come back to UNK for the RMAC." UNK had a 23-match, 11- year winning streak over Hays before losing 3-2 to the Tigers in Sept.
