BARTLESVILLE, Okla. – Evangel Volleyball clinched the 5th seed in the KCAC Conference Tournament, traveling on Tuesday (Nov. 10) evening to take on the 4th-seeded Oklahoma Wesleyan Eagles in Bartlesville. The Valor could not overcome attacking errors on Tuesday, forcing EU to fall in straight sets, closing their 2026 campaign.
Evangel jumped out to an early 3-0 lead on Tuesday, as Charlotte Hawkins and Jessica Pritchett both recorded kills, before OKWU went on a 3-0 run of their own. Both teams traded the lead early on in the set until the Eagles went on a 5-1 run to take a 14-10 lead. The Valor trailed 14-12 before another big OKWU run, this one that proved to be insurmountable, falling 25-19 in set one.
Leading 9-8 in set two, Evangel looked to extend their advantage, but the Eagles quickly responded, using a 6-0 run to take a 14-9 lead. Simone Johnson and the Valor defense continued to work in the period and drew with a pair of points, 23-21, but the Eagles scored the final pair in the set, taking a 25-21 win in set two.
The Valor hit -.081 in the third set, hurting their chances to win in the period. Evangel trailed just 14-13 midway through the set, using kills from Hawkins and errors from the Eagles to keep pace, but a late 4-0 run proved to be the difference on Tuesday, as the Valor fell in the conference quarterfinals, 25-20.
