Calvary University Volleyball won their first match of the season with an impressive 3-0 sweep over Union College Tuesday night. “Practice this week was focused on serves and serve receive,” said Coach Ashley Spicer. “It really showed against Union. We had our best serving percentage of the season tonight.” In the opening set, both teams came out fighting to gain momentum. The Lady Warriors were able to gain the advantage with smart plays and by excellent kills, winning the set 25-20.
In the next
two sets, both teams fought hard, but Calvary was able to continue their
momentum with excellent serving and improving their overall hitting percentage.
Despite Union’s attempts to come back, Calvary finished 27-25 in both of the
final two sets. Both Leah Grady and Tori Veltkamp were difference makers,
leading with 6 kills each. Anna Holloway also led the team with 4 aces, 2 solo
blocks, and 20 digs.
The Lady Warriors will next travel to Haviland, Kansas to take the court against Barclay College on Friday.

Calvary’s basketball teams are enjoying a stretch of home games. For the men’s team that home court advantage has resulted in three straight conference wins. On January 18, they defeated Faith Baptist Bible College, and then the next day brought another victory over Emmaus Bible College. Ozark Christian College travelled to the Pyramid Athletic Center (Calvary’s gym) on January 22, and the Warriors won by the score of 80-74.
The team has two remaining regular season home games and three road games. Calvary will then be hosting the Midwest Christian College Conference Tournament on February 14-16.

One of the places where Calvary’s increased enrollment is most visible is the soccer field. In the past, there were years when we wondered if there would even be enough players to have a team. This year we actually have substitutes for players who need a break or get injured. What a blessing! At this point, the Warriors are still seeking their first win of the season, but Coach Daniel Nichols is seeing improvements in each game. On Tuesday, the team plays at home (613 W Mill, Belton, MO) against Ozark Christian at 4:00 p.m. I know that they would appreciate your support.
