The top two volleyball teams in the SEC White faced off in Chelsea Tuesday night for a showdown for the top spot in the conference standings and Dexter showed they are still the team to beat after sweeping the Bulldogs 25-17, 25-12, 25-17.

Arnedt opened the second set with nine straight service points as Dexter took a 9-0 lead to start the second.

Chelsea answered with five straight points by Kasey Matusik to cut the lead to 10-7, but that is as close the Bulldogs would get. Dexter closed out the set with a 15-5 run to take the set 25-12 and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

The Bulldogs did not quit and tied the game a 6-6 in the third, but the Dreads went on a 6-0 run for a 12-6 lead and never looked back. Dexter closed out the match when Brady Wineman found the back corner with a kill to finish the three game sweep.
