The Michigan Tech women’s volleyball team completed their spring season with a weekend tournament in Green Bay, Wis. this past Saturday.
The women’s volleyball team took a weekend in Duluth for tournament competition with the Bulldogs, St. Cloud, the University of Wisconsin-Superior, Bemidji State and a Duluth alumni team. With a format of two or three games competition, team scores remained unkempt.
Now before you say it… I’m not going to spend my time bashing the team, saying they are terrible or misspelling Coach John MacInnes’ name this time. But for those of us who love our University sports, isn’t it still a little hard to be a Huskies fan?
A 19-7 record was a comfort to the Michigan Tech volleyball team this year. While they reached their goal of making the NCAA tournament, the season was full of ups and downs for a team with so much potential. The passion of the team was evident in the pre-season with a big win over No. 11 Emporia State. A 3-1 win over Saginaw Valley State University to open the conference season slid under the radar but proved that the Huskies could compete and win against the Cardinals.
After a seemingly disappointing end to their season with a 3-0 defeat at home against Saginaw Valley State University in the GLIAC Conference tournament, Michigan Tech volleyball has been given another chance to redeem themselves. The Huskies have had an overall successful year, and their hard work has paid off to earn them their spot in the NCAA tournament; however, there have also been points in the volleyball season where they have not played even close to their full potential.
After losing the first two games of their match against Ashland University, most sportswriters would have felt comfortable adding another tally to the loss column. Ashland University sat one point away several times from closing the third game at 24-20, 24-21, 24-22, 24-23, 25-24 and 27-26. However, Michigan Tech played flawlessly when it counted, rallying back from a deficit to live another game. In game four, the Jung sisters came alive with strong blocking, and Michigan Tech hitting took on a new power level. The Husky defense cleaned every inch of the floor when Ashland tried to find a hole.
With a 2-1 record at home and a 3-2 record away, Michigan Tech volleyball has shown that they have the potential to make the win happen anywhere at any time. With strong unified play this past weekend, the Huskies will look to take on Ashland and Tiffin Universities.
After a tough Tuesday night loss to Northern Michigan University, the Michigan Tech women’s volleyball team was on the road looking for a few wins this weekend. While the women took hosting Grand Valley State University to five games, they fell in the closer, 15-9. However, Saturday brought revenge for Michigan Tech and handed head coach Krista Mikesch her first win over Ferris State University in the nine seasons that she has been with the Huskies. Again, the match included five games, but Michigan Tech came out on top 15-10 in the final.
The Michigan Tech volleyball team finished the Lewis Flyer Invitational 2-2 in Romeoville, Ill. this weekend.
It was a mediocre weekend at best for the Michigan Tech volleyball team. A loss to Northern Michigan marked two matches lost to the Wildcats this year. The Huskies defeated Urbana but did not play to their strengths or potential.
