The Luther College volleyball team posted a record of 4-0 at the two-day University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Invitational held Oct. 23-24.
On Friday, Luther defeated Clarke College 3-2 and then finished the evening with a 3-0 victory over host La Crosse. Saturday saw the Norse defeat UW-Platteville 3-1 and Buena Vista University 3-0.
The four wins increased Luther's overall record to 22-10, marking the first time since 1999 the Norse have tallied 20-plus victories in a season.
