Crusaders take down the Wolverines in four sets

DEARBORN, Mich. -- The Madonna University Crusaders volleyball (8-12, 3-7 WHAC) took down the University of Michigan-Dearborn (11-8, 3-7 WHAC) in four sets on Saturday afternoon (25-19, 19-25, 25-19, 25-16). 

HOW IT HAPPENED:

The Crusaders looked to bounce back in conference play after their tough match with No. 12 Aquinas. In the first set, the Crusaders dominated early going on a 7-2 run giving them a quick lead. Later in the set the Crusaders would find themselves up as much as 19-12 before taking the first set with a final of 25-19. 

In set number two, the Crusaders again would jump out to an early 7-3 lead but this time the Wolverines had an answer and were able to string together a bunch of 2-3 point runs with their biggest run being a 5-0 run midway through the set, allowing the Wolverines to take a 25-19 victory in set two.

In set number three the Crusaders looked to take their early momentum and hold onto it as they again jumped to an early 7-3 lead. The Wolverines would answer again tying the game at 11 but this time the Crusaders were able to string a 5-0 run together led by Karlee Stoll with two aces. The Wolverines had another answer bringing the game to within one late in the set but another 5-0 run by the Crusaders led by two Evan Hughes kills would secure a 25-19 victory in set three. 

In set number four, the Crusaders dominated the second half of the set after they found themselves down 15-13 at the mid set point. From there the Crusaders went on a 9-0 run with two kills from Hannah Keenan and Kira Buza springing them to a 22-15 lead. The Wolverines would take one point to break the 9-0 run but would ultimately result in a 12-1 run for the Crusaders to take the game with a final of 25-16
