SILOAM SPRINGS -- Greenwood's volleyball team is on a roll, and the Lady Bulldogs didn't slow down Thursday night.
Greenwood won its 14th straight match and remained unbeaten in 5A-West Conference play with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 25-21) sweep of Siloam Springs inside Panther Activity Center.
The defending state champion Lady Bulldogs (20-4, 10-0) also have yet to drop a set in 10 conference games.
"That's not something we talk about. That's not something that's a goal of ours," said Greenwood coach Jennifer Golden. "It's just getting out there and playing every play to the best that we can and getting better as we go."
Greenwood had a balanced effort Thursday in its win against Siloam Springs.
Junior Camryn Presley had 12 kills, 18 assists and nine digs, while senior Abby Cagle had 12 kills.
Junior Zoe Benton had six kills, six digs and two solo blocks, while sophomore Larkin Luke and junior Bella Mora each had five kills.
Greenwood finished off the first set on a 6-0 run to win 25-19, taking advantage of several Siloam Springs errors.
The Lady Bulldogs led 16-15 in the second set after a Chloe Price kill brought the Lady Panthers within one. Greenwood responded with a pair of kills from Benton and one from Luke to pull ahead 21-16. Cagle had a pair of kills down the stretch.
Siloam Springs responded in the third set and led 13-10 and forced Greenwood to use a timeout. The Lady Bulldogs responded with an 8-3 run and pulled away for the match win.
"I really feel like we adjust to whatever the other team does well," Golden said. "You know, we've played Siloam twice now. We have film on them. We're able to look back and see what did we do well against them. What did they do well against us, and we adjust. I feel like we're able to put that into our plays and our defense and try to match that."
Senior Ellie Lampton led Siloam Springs (13-8-1, 7-3) with 13 kills, while senior Chloe Price had eight kills, 14 assists and six digs and Kelsey Lewis 25 digs.
Siloam Springs coach Joellen Wright gave credit to the Lady Bulldogs.
"They have lots of positive points," Wright said. "They don't commit a lot of errors. They are pretty solid. Hitting is pretty strong -- really strong. We struggled with some of that. To their credit they were definitely the better team tonight for sure."
