The women’s volleyball team will look to stop a modest two- match losing streak this weekend as the Panthers travel to Peoria for the Mark Twain Hotels Invitational. Although it’s only the second week of the season, head coach Brenda Winkeler knows the sig- nificance of the tournament for the Panthers after a pair of tough losses to Drake and Saint Louis. “It’s very important to come back with a strong showing,” Winkeler said. “This weekend we need to start some positive momentum. The last few games we haven’t played aggressive like we did in our wins, and we need to play aggressive this weekend.” The Panthers (2-2) will open the tournament Friday against Maryland-Baltimore County. The Retrievers had a successful year in 2002 going 17-12, but they have struggled this year with a 1-2 record despite the play of junior outside hitter Jocelyn Teoh.
