Emporia State didn’t win the MIAA championship on Saturday, but the Hornets did salvage a tie for second place in the league with a 3-0 win at Fort Hays State in the regular season finale.
Every loss has been followed by a win this season, and the Hornets continued that trend after losing to Washburn on Friday, which made Saturday’s game a must-win to tie Washburn for second in the MIAA.
Arica Shepard had her 12th straight double-double with 13 kills and a match-high 19 digs in the Hornets’ 25-21, 25-15, 25-15 win.
