John Carroll University Athletics

Emblamatic of the gritty effort the Blue Streaks put forth to reach their first OAC title match since 1995, McDowell had a strong tournament week. She led JCU in hitting percentage (.357 on 13 kills), and blocks (10 total, three solo). She also had seven digs and three aces over the course of the OAC Tournament as John Carroll completed the season 23-7. The 23 wins are the most in a season since the 1996 team amassed 26 victories.
