Valiant volleyball effort comes up short for Falcons
MEQUON, Wis.- After a sweep of Rockford on the road the night before, the Concordia University Wisconsin volleyball team looked to make it back-to-back Northern Athletics Conference victories against Wisconsin Lutheran College on Saturday afternoon.
Aided by a boisterous "Club CUW" the Falcons held off seven game points, however, to steal that second game 30-28 and even the match at one apiece.
A tight third set that saw nine ties, but ultimately late attack and service errors by Concordia helped Wisconsin Lutheran to a 25-21 victory.
The Warriors closed out the match with an anti-climatic 25-14 game four victory.
Britta Duchow and Amanda Stahmann lead the way offensively for Joe Cawley's team with 8 kills apiece. Carley Valentine chipped in with 25 assists.
The Falcon's return to action Friday on the road at Alverno before returning to the R. John Buuck Fieldhouse for a three game home stand beginning October 10 against Northern Athletics Conference front runner Dominican University at 7pm.
