INDIANAPOLIS - The Michigan Tech volleyball team split a pair of matches at the GLVC/GLIAC Crossover Tournament Friday (Oct. 17). Tech fell 3-0 (25-20, 25-20, 29-27) to Missouri-St. Louis before posting a 3-2 win (25-23, 25-22, 18-25, 24-26, 15-8) over No. 17 Lewis. The Huskies, who are now 15-6 overall, avenged their 3-1 loss to the Flyers earlier this season.

“We came out strong blocking against Missouri-St. Louis, but we didn’t play strong defense otherwise,” said head coach Krista Mikesch. “We had a lot of unforced errors and did not put ourselves in a position to win.”

Against Lewis, Tech held a 11.0 to 4.0 advantage in blocks and out hit the Flyers .224 to .177.

Junior Veronica Armstrong paced the Huskies finishing with 13 kills and 12 digs. She also added three block solos and one block assist.

Junior Kelly Jorgensen finished with a match-high 14 kills for the Huskies and senior Jen Jung added 13.

Senior Christa Jung finished with a team-high 17 digs for the Huskies.

Stephanie Sagat led the Flyers with a match-high 16 kills.

“This was a huge win for us after losing to them earlier in the season,” said Mikesch. “We controlled most of the match and our older players stepped up. Overall it was a good huge win.”

The Huskies will close out the weekend Saturday (Oct. 18) against Rockhurst at 1:00 p.m.
