The Conway Lady Cats remained undefeated in 7A-Central volleyball as they improved to 11-0 Thursday night, sweeping the Van Buren Lady Pointers, 25-19, 25-15, 25-10.

The Lady Cats started strongly in Game 1 with senior Jasmyn Wilkins and sophomore Madison Dayer putting in three kills apiece and senior Payton Hart contributing seven assists. Game 2 was more of the same for the Lady Cats as senior Mary Dunlap put down five kills while Hart handed out another eight assists. Hart recorded 29 assists for the match.

The Lady Cats stayed in control as seniors Breezy Murphy and Lauren Rivers ended the game as well as the match with three consecutuve blocks. Murphy also had 18 digs for the night.

Conway has four remaining conference matches with the next one scheduled at home on Oct. 13 against Bryant.

"The next two weeks will be eye openers for us," Conway coach Laura Crow said.

This weekend the Lady Cats will be hosting the Lady Cat Invitational, a statewide tournament featuring 20 teams.

"This weekend will also really tell us what we need to work on," Crow said. "We'll be facing some tough teams. It doesn't matter what you're ranked."

The Lady Cats will kick off the tournament on Saturday at Wampus Cat Arena at 9 a.m.
