Crusaders Move to 4-1 in Conference Play with Win Over Michigan-Dearborn

DEARBORN, Mich. –  The Madonna University women's volleyball team moved to 4-1 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) with a 3-1 victory over the University of Michigan-Dearborn Wolverines on Friday night inside Fieldhouse Gymnasium. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

Similarly to Wednesday night's game, the Crusaders took the first two sets from the Wolverines by scores of 25-23 and 25-20 respectively. With the Crusaders leading 2-0 heading into the third set, the Wolverines jumped out to a 19-14 lead. Madonna put up a good fight in the third, rattling off four straight points to make it a 19-18 game. Errors would be fatal for the Crusaders down the stretch and the Wolverines would win set three, 25-19.

The Crusaders weren't messing around in the fourth set and jumped out to a commanding 19-12 lead. Madonna found themselves up 22-15, Dearborn took a timeout to salvage anything they had left in the tank. Coming out of the timeout, the Wolverines caught Madonna off guard ratting off an 6-0 run making it a 22-21 game. The Crusaders turned to Tauri Hintz and Kira Buza who delivered the final blow as Madonna took home the 3-1 victory
