Box Score FOND DU LAC, Wis. – MSOE women's volleyball entered the final four NACC games of the season with a playoff spot in reach and a shot at the most wins in a single season. The Raiders took steps towards both of those milestones as they took down Marian in straight sets.
RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 3 (26-25-25)
Marian – 0 (24-19-11)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (18-9, 7-3 NACC) played a solid game this evening, but a part of the win could be attributed to Marian's (11-11, 3-7 NACC) error total throughout the contest.
- The closest set of the evening was the first in which the Raiders hit .109 and needed an extra point and 10 Sabres errors to go up 1-0 with a 26-24 decision.
- The Red and White improved drastically from there, hitting .250 and .440 in sets two and three respectively.
- Marian committed another 15 errors in the remaining two games and had just two more kills than mistakes as MSOE took home easy wins via 25-19 and 25-11 scores for the straight sweep.
RAIDER REMARKS
