Volleyball Team Drops Both Games at Muskegon Invitational

"We played two tough matches today and keep coming so close in these 5-set losses that we face," said Coach Jenny Nate. "We are nearing the tipping point, and if we can get just get over this hump and start to consistently win them, I know we can keep it rolling. We have to learn to expect to win and believe we can win in every situation. We had a slow start today, and we can't have a slow start against tough teams like these. We also got stuck in a rotation a few times, and we are working hard to learn from these losses and make positive changes moving forward. We actually had a great overall hitting percentage today and did a lot of good things. Unfortunately, we couldn't ever close the gap to seal the win. But the competition we faced the last two days will definitely help us prepare for our conference matches this week, and we look forward to finally getting back on our home court to host."

 

The Roadrunners are now 11-15 overall and 4-4 in the conference.
