The Lewis-Clark State Lady Warriors showed why they are ranked 24th in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics on Tuesday, Oct. 27, sweeping the Missionaries in three games with scores of 25-20, 25-13 and 25-18.

Sophomore Katie Miller kept things going with a service ace and senior Alex Graves combined with Brewer for a block.
