The Washington Demons volleyball team was unable to break up their losing streak over the weekend, dropping all four of their matches at the Ottumwa Invitational Saturday. After pushing Mount Pleasant to three sets but still falling, Washington fell in straight sets to Burlington, Eddyville-Blakesburg and Fairfield.

Freshman hitter Leighton Messinger led the Demon attack across all matches with a total of 13 kills while adding 19 digs and a block. Sophomore Ella Greiner finished with 12 kills, three serving aces and 11 digs. Senior Haley Mitchell and sophomore Lauren Hinrichsen split time at setter and both covered the court. Along with dishing out 16 assists, Hinrichsen added two aces and 10 digs. In addition to her 17 assists, Mitchell contributed three aces and eight digs.

Washington has now lost nine straight matches to fall to 4-16. The Demons hope to turn it around as part of homecoming week when they host Fort Madison this evening starting at 7:15.
