It was 12 years ago when the DePauw women's volleyball program last extended a win streak to 15 games.
The Tigers matched that Saturday.
Traveling to Alma College (12-7) and Wooster College (12-6, 1-2 NCAC), both in Ohio, DePauw (15-2, 2-0 NCAC) matched the second-longest win streak in history.
The first game against Alma was closest of the two, finishing 3-2.
"After we won the first two games handedly, we just got inconsistent in game three," said head coach Deb Zellers. "We got soft and missed a lot of serves, and Alma just caught fire."
But DePauw managed to hold onto the win in their fifth game, which was won handedly 15-3.
The Tigers had only had one other match that made it to game five against Cornell University in the team's third match of the season on Sept. 2.
"We found ourselves in a situation that was a little 'woah, what's going on?' because we hadn't been there in a while," Zellers said. "But I was proud of the strong mindset our team had in game five."
Last season, Wooster and DePauw had tied in North Coast Athletic Conference play with 11-5 records, placing even more stress on the game Saturday.
"We've focused one match at a time, we've never looked ahead, and I think when you can focus on the task at hand it takes a lot of pressure off," Zellers said.
And focusing on one game at a time is working for them.
Their next game is at home tonight and the team is really pushing for a large student attendance.
It is their breast cancer awareness game and all of the proceeds will go directly to Putnam County Hospital.
"It's great because things are staying local," Zellers said. "Our fund will help with everything from gas cards to treatment."
Students are encouraged to wear pink to watch the team try to continue its win streak to 16.
