HBU did not drop a set in the sweep of Webber International, with senior Jessica Wooten and junior Aeriel Horton taking care of Carlee Baxter and Emily Bowen, 21-11, 21-18, at number one and senior Kayla Armer and sophomore Tori Hinojosa cruising past Amber Lake and Hannah Tannone at number two, 21-15, 21-9.

"Our team represented itself really well this weekend," HBU associate head coach Cameron Sitler said. "We competed against some talented opponents. As a program, we have faced these programs over the years and struggled, but it's great to see our team and players continue to grow and battle tough competition this weekend."
