The Bobcats had to come from behind in the first set, led most of the way in the second set, and then had to score extra points in the third for their first Heart victory.
Peru State topped the visiting William Penn Statesmen 25-23, 25-16, 28-26 to improve to 4-13 overall and 1-3 in conference play. The Statesmen fell to 6-8 on the season and 1-4 in the Heart.
Claire Cudney led the team with nine kills. Quinonez Holguin finished with 17 assists. Dawson Sharman had a game-high 24 digs. The Bobcats held William Penn to a .059 hitting percentage while hitting an even .200.

On Saturday, the Concordia Bulldogs will be the opponents at 2 p.m. The Bulldogs started the season with 12 straight wins, but have dropped their last two matches to ranked opponents.
