Whiting, IN - The Calumet College Women's Volleyball team hosted Judson University in the team's first home and conference match-up of the season. Coming off a 3-1 weekend at the Goshen College Tri-Meet, the Crimson Wave were prepped and ready to go against an Eagles team the Wave lost 3-0 to last season.
The Wave started off the first set on top, getting ahead of Judson early and then holding the lead with a tough defense. CCSJ blew past the Eagles for a 25-14 first-set win and started off the match on the right foot.

Judson gained a slight lead and held off CCSJ for a 25-23 win, bringing the score to 1-1 going into the third set. The Crimson Wave controlled most of the third and fourth sets getting early leads and cutting down on errors giving CCSJ the momentum to bring home their first CCAC win of the season in 25-19 and 25-18 final sets, securing a 3-1 match win.
