Coming off of wins against some of the top teams in the nation, WashU entered the UW-Whitewater Invite with high hopes. Facing unranked Saint Benedict in the first match, the #7-ranked Bears exuded confidence. However, the team quickly dropped consecutive sets despite great defense from Libero Ellie Laird and aces from all over the team

In a weekend to remember, the Washington University volleyball team left its mark in California. The Bears — who traveled to the Golden State to compete in the East to West Invitational — battled through tough opposition for three impressive victories, including two wins over teams ranked top 10 in the nation.

For the second weekend in a row, Washington University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams were untouchable against top conference opponents.

By winning four out of their first five conference matchups, including wins over Top 10 ranked New York University and University of Chicago during winter break, the team is tied for first place in the division as they approach the second half of the regular season.

The Washington University men’s basketball team lost the contest against Wabash before taking a one-point victory against local competitor Webster.

“I think we have done a great job serving tough and forcing our opponents to be out of the system,” Walby said.
