SMC Volleyball 1-1 At LMC Quad

The Southwestern Michigan College volleyball team went 1-1 Saturday at the LMC Quad, falling to Harper 22-25, 25-18, 25-15, 20-25, 11-15 and beating South Suburban 27-25, 23-25, 25-18, and 25-15. 

"We are still working hard on our lineups post injuries and finding ways to win every set in every match," Coach Jenny Nate said. "We made a lot of progress this week and are 2-1 so far in the past three days.  Overall, we are playing much better ball both offensively and defensively.  Our hitters all had positive hitting percentages this week, and many of our players are gaining confidence as we work various players into the lineups.  Mentally, we are back on track and continue to build the trust and confidence needed to win these tight, close matches.  Along with our strong offense, we had some amazing defensive plays today too, and our chemistry in the backcourt was great.  Communication is improving, and our setter did a phenomenal job spreading out the sets today.  We just have to stay focused, do the work, and keep building momentum. We head to Muskegon early tomorrow morning for another tough quad where we will take on Oakland and Mott.  This will be great preparation for our upcoming conference matches this week." 

The Roadrunners are now 11-13 overall and 4-4 in conference play.
