NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont University Volleyball Program (11-19, 6-12 MVC) swept Murray State (14-13, 9-9 MVC) in the regular season finale Tuesday afternoon.

Murray State then went on a 7-2 run to bring the set within one at 22-21. Belmont refocused and claimed set one 25-23 off a kill from Mialee Dabbelt.
 
The Racers jumped out early in the second before Lucy Kay rattled off back-to-back kills to give the Bruins an 11-9 lead. Keegan later added an ace to give Belmont control at 17-13. Similar to the previous set, Murray State went on a late run to bring cut Belmont's lead to one. Dabbelt had the final say again to give the Bruins set two 25-23.
 
Belmont's middles added two-straight kills to give the Bruins a 10-6 lead to start the third. With her first kill of the match, Kristen Clemons extended the lead at 22-14. The Bruins didn't let up and took the third set and match 25-16 off a block from Clemons and Gilleland.
