The 10th-ranked Northwest Missouri State volleyball team claimed the program's first MIAA regular season championship with a 3-0 sweep of No. 21-ranked Central Oklahoma in Bearcat Arena Wednesday.

Northwest won by set scores of 25-22, 25-18 and 25-21 to produce their 10th straight win. The Northwest victory assures the Bearcats of at least a share of the regular season crown. The Bearcats are 16-3 in MIAA play with a final home match set for Friday at 6 p.m. against the Newman Jets.

Another Northwest triumph would give the Bearcats the outright league title and the No. 1 seed in the MIAA Tournament.
