Jeter and Armstrong Tally 12 Kills Each

HOUGHTON, Mich. — The Michigan Tech volleyball team improved to 2-0 at home with a 3-1 victory over Gannon at the SDC Gym today. The Huskies won the first two games (30-20, 30-23), lost the third (30-22), then put the match away in decisive fashion (30-14) in game four.

"Being at home has really seemed to provide a spark for the team," said head coach Krista Mikesch. "We played more consistently and we want to continue to try to reduce the amount of unforced errors."

All 17 players on the roster saw action in the match, and 13 different players had a kill. Kali Jeter and Veronica Armstrong notched a team-high 12 kills apiece. Jeter did it on just 14 attempts with one error for a .786 hitting percentage. The senior also added 10 digs and three block assists. Armstrong hit .423 and had nine digs. Christa Jung was the third Husky with double digit kills (10), and that capped off a strong weekend with for the junior.

"It was nice to give our younger players some opportunities to get experience today," added Mikesch. "Christa and Veronica both had great weekends. We'll need everyone to take another step up next weekend with two tough opponents coming in."

Michigan Tech (4-8 overall, 2-3 GLIAC) will host Saginaw Valley State Friday (Sept. 28) and Northwood Saturday (Sept. 29). Friday's match will start at 7 p.m.
