The Tigers' girls volleyball hitter Waltenberger played a key role in the Tigers' come-from-behind win over Belleville East on Tuesday night in a Southwestern Conference match, coming up with some big shots that helped Edwardsville go on to a 21-25, 25-11, 25-22 win over the Lancers to help extend the team's conference winning streak to 55 matches in a row. In a post-match interview, Waltenberger was happy with the win, although acknowledging that the Tigers still have much work to do in practice. "I'm feeling happy," Waltenberger said.
