OGLESBY — Sophomore Emma Schweigert set a career high for kills in the Sandburg volleyball team's 25-22, 25-20, 25-14 sweep at Illinois Valley on Wednesday night.

Schweigert put down a team-leading 11 kills and posted a .308 hitting percentage for the Chargers in the victory. The previous best for the second-year player from Tremont was eight kills, set last week at Highland and Aug. 22 against Des Moines Area.

Sandburg (14-17 overall, 6-2 Arrowhead Conference) also got double-digit kills from sophomore Abigail Shaffer, who collected 10 to go with 15 digs and two aces.
