SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist finished the Bison Invitational with another pair of wins, pushing the win streak to seven as the Bison finish the week 5-0. The Bison opened up Saturday with a 3-1 win over Drury before resting several leading performers in a 3-0 triumph over Randall.
The seven-match win streak is OBU's longest win streak since becoming a full member of NCAA Division II ahead of the 2017 season, and the longest such streak since 2015 when the Bison went for 10 straight in 2015.
After going up 1-0 against Drury, the Bison ended up dropping their first set in six matches to make it 1-1. Oklahoma Baptist then battled back after trailing in the third set before putting away Drury in the fourth.
