The Foresters
entered the match against Spring Arbor University looking for their
first conference win, but came up short with a 25-21, 22-25, 25-21,
14-25, 15-13 loss.
After losing game
one, HU found themselves down 20-12 in the second game before
rallying for the 25-22 win. In game three, the Foresters were
down five early and could never catch up. Game four was all HU
and they seemed to have their first victory in sight as they jumped
out to an 8-4 lead in the final game. But after switching sides
midway through the game, the wheels fell off and the Cougars
capitalized to get the come-from-behind win.
Brittney Smelser led HU's attack
with 22 kills. She also added 13 digs and four aces.
Alyssa Schroeder tallied
51 assists. Chelsey Melvin had a team-high 16 digs and Natalie
Villwock chipped in 16 kills, two blocks and four aces.
