Records for COD volleyball extends to the 2012 season and in that time the Chaps had dropped 17 straight matches to fellow N4C and Region 4 rival Harper College.
 
That streak came to a crashing halt Tuesday night when the fifth-ranked Chaps routed the fourth-ranked Hawks 3-0 (25-15, 25-15, 25-19).
 
Coach Tolis Koskinaris's team limited its errors on the attack and performed well on serve-receive while improving to 16-8 overall and 3-1 in the N4C.
 
"We're very proud of our effort in a victory over a program that's been very good for a very long time,'' Koskinaris said. "We were focused and determined, and that's a credit to the work our team has put in all season long. We were mistake-free and played technically, a very sound match.''
 
The Chaps hit .250 for the match, on the strength of 35 kills, just 11 errors in 96 attacks. On serve-receive, they totaled 10 aces with only four service errors. Alyssa Fountain and Emily DeBlecourt each had 10 kills, thanks to setter Hanah Friel's 29 assists.
 
Fountain led in aces with three, and Ava Garcia and Grace Franz followed with two apiece.
 
The Chaps continue their road stretch with a match at Madison on Thursday. They return to the PEC Arena on Tuesday night when they play Joliet.
