The Warrior volleyball squad took to the court twice last week, dropping both matches against Upper Iowa Conference foes to fall to 2-23 on the season and 0-6 in conference play.
MFL/MarMac
South Winn began the week Tuesday, Oct. 8, against UIC front-runner MFL/MarMac (currently 14-11, 7-1 in UIC). The Bulldogs were able to defeat the Warriors in three consecutive sets (25-17, 25-17, and 25-18).
“Our girls played a great match, but we just couldn’t get past one rotation in each set,” said coach Glenna Munuswamy. “Our blocking and defense did a great job of slowing down a very powerful Bulldog offense.”
South Winn had six blocks, led by Sydney Becker and Kaitlyn Theis with two apiece.
Junior Madison Kriener led the team with seven
kills, while classmate Sara Biraschi had team-high five aces.
