BIG RAPIDS, Mich. - Michigan Tech rallied from a 2-0 deficit to force a fifth and deciding game at Ferris State today in GLIAC volleyball at the Ewigleben Sports Arena. The comeback fell short, however. The host Bulldogs prevailed 15-10 in the fifth game to register the victory.

Ferris won the first two games by identical scores (30-26), but Michigan Tech wasn't ready to cede the match as the Huskies rallied to claim game three and four by 33-31 and 30-23 scores, respectively.

In the deciding fifth game, Lindsay Tye's kill snapped a 6-6 tie as the Bulldogs claimed the upper hand for the remainder of the match. MTU would close to within a point at 8-7, but would get no closer.

Jen Jung turned in a strong match with 13 kills and a .357 hitting percentage. She also was credited for a block solo and eight block assists. Sophomore Kelly Jorgensen proved to be the most accurate with a .667 hitting percentage and nine kills.

Kelsey Skoog did it all with a team-high 24 digs to go with 17 assists and seven kills in the match.

Michigan Tech (2-7, 0-2 GLIAC) will conclude its brutal season-opening travel schedule (matches in Florida, Minnesota, and lower Michigan) with a trip to Northern Michigan Wednesday (Sept. 19). The Huskies first home match will come Saturday (Sept. 22) vs. Mercyhurst.
