HUSKIES REBOUND WITH 3-0 WIN OVER SAGINAW VALLEY STATE


UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. -- The Michigan Tech volleyball team recorded a 3-0 (30-25, 30-28, 30-28) win over Saginaw Valley State and snapped the Cardinals' three-game winning streak Sunday afternoon. The Huskies are now 7-7 overall and 3-2 in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference competition. SVSU saw its record fall to 10-4 overall and 3-3 in the conference.

"Today was a great turnaround from yesterday's performance," said eighth-year head coach Krista Mikesch. "We talked a lot about cutting down our unforced errors and we are able to do that against Saginaw Valley. When we avoid a lot errors we have a chance to beat anybody in this league."

Sophomore Kali Jeter (Middleton, Wis.), who was named the Superior Player of the Match, registered 13 kills off a .400 hitting percentage and pitched in nine digs and one block solo. Sophomore Veronica Armstong (Battle Creek, Mich.) tallied her fourth double-double of the year with 12 kills and 16 digs. She also contributed two service aces, two block assists and one block solo. Sophomore Jen Jung (Andover, Minn./Coon Rapids) notched 10 kills and compiled a .419 hitting percentage, while also picking up two block assists.

Senior Amanda Mackenthun (Waconia, Minn./Mayer Lutheran) and Alison Greene (Andover, Minn./Totino Grace) shared playing time at setter and amassed 25 and 24 kills, respectively.

Sophomore Kelsey Skoog (Long Lake, Minn./Orono) had 13 digs from her libero spot.

Danielle Dryer led the Saginaw Valley State offense with 17 kills and Ashleigh Hubbard turned in 24 digs for the home team.

Tech put up five blocks to SVSU's four. The Huskies finished with just 14 errors, compared to 25 for the Cardinals.

Michigan Tech is back at home next Saturday (Sept. 23) for a contest against defending national champion and second-ranked Grand Valley State at the SDC Gym. The match is slated to start at 1 p.m.
