Muskogee, Oklahoma – September 26, 2015 – The Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) volleyball team improved to 4-0 in Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC) play after beating first year SAC member Bacone College .

Despite adversity, head coach Hank Moore is happy with the way his team responded, “We missed way too many serves tonight and overall did not play very well, but we can really grow from a match like this. I was proud of the way we battled even if we did not play at a good level.”

Caitlin Paschall had 43 assist and 10 digs. Seniors Katie Ryan and Emmalee Smith each ended the night with 15 digs. Smith is the current SAC Defender of the Week.
