DuPage continued its strong play with another sweep, defeating Genesee Community College 25-15, 25-16 and 25-7. The Chaparrals hit .373 as a team, led by a remarkable performance from Furmanski, who recorded 10 kills on 10 attack attempts without an error for a perfect 1.000 hitting percentage.

Rambasek led DuPage with 16 kills, while Aldarondo and Lawson each recorded 13. Gardner distributed 34 assists and served seven aces.

Furmanski's performance throughout the trip stood out, as the sophomore went without an attack error in the first three matches of the New York trip, which extended her errorless streak to four consecutive matches overall.

"Successful weekend out East with a nice 4-1 outcome," head coach Tolis Koskinaris said. "Our group did a wonderful job fighting through challenges all weekend. Isa Furmanski, going errorless in the first three matches is an unheard-of stat line versus quality competition. Team looks locked in heading to the final stretch of the regular season."

The Chaparrals will look to carry that momentum into the final stretch of their regular-season schedule.
