RYAN BASS Staff Writer To eventually be the best, the UCF Volleyball team knows it has to beat the best. On Sunday, the Knights did just that, talcing down the top team in Conference USA, Tulsa, in straight sets 25-15, 25-21 and 25-20. "Coming here and beating the confer ence's top team on their court was a really special moment for ·us," head coach Todd Dagenais said after the match in a press release. "Especially since we struggled at the end at SMU, and for us to come back here and play such a quality team and exe cute our game plan just shows that we are continuing on in the maturing process." That match against SMU on Friday must have been extremely tough for UCF to swallow. Although lJCF led 2-0 after the first two sets, the Mustangs were able to crawl back and steal the victory. The Knights were put in the same situ ation on Sunday, but' the outcome w-as a lit- tle different this time around. . "We wanted to be the te:µn that came out intense in that third game against Tulsa [like SMU did Friday]," Erin Campbell said. 'We did and we are all ecstatic. We see how well we can play, but now we have to keep building." The Knights (10-6 overall, 2-1 in C-USA) continue to place the bricks for their bridge to suc cess. That first step came with the win Sun day, which gave the team its largest win total in a season since 2003, with 14 games still left on the regular season schedule.
