League Sweeps Propel Skov, Worthington to Volleyball Weekly Awards

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Cornell tops the Ivy League table with a 5-0 mark in League action and a 12-2 overall record. The Big Red have proven victorious in 10-straight matches and are off to their best League start since 2005, when they opened the conference slate 12-0.
