Winning Streak Continues for Volleyball at Davenport

Wayne State completes a perfect weekend with another sweep.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Wayne State University volleyball team (9-4, 5-0 GLIAC) earned its second sweep (25-19, 28-26, 26-24) of the weekend at Davenport (7-6, 3-2 GLIAC) on Saturday afternoon to extend its winning streak to five.

WSU stays unbeaten in the GLIAC and keeps pace with seventh-ranked Ferris State for first place in the league standings.  The Warriors begin the league schedule undefeated for the first time since the 2012 team started 7-0 in conference matches.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Hannah Moore (Louisville, Ky. / Assumption) gave the Warriors a 5-2 lead and the lead grew to 9-2 after an Ellie Rodriguez (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Catholic Central) ace and a Panthers' attacking error.  Two kills from Michelle Asiedu (Holland, Ohio / Springfield) extended WSU's advantage to 18-8 and Wayne State would go on to win 25-19.  A point from Natalie Breault (Bad Axe, Mich.) and a combo block from Grace Frazee (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Grand Rapids Christian) and Hailey Richardson (New Boston, Mich. / Huron) ended the set.

- Davenport led the second set 6-2 but the Green & Gold would take an 8-7 lead on a kill from Frazee.  Asiedu kept WSU on top, 14-11 with a kill before the set was tied at 15-15.  The Panthers led 20-19 but the two sides traded points down the stretch, which remained tied at 26-26.  The Warriors were the beneficiaries of two late DU errors to win the set 28-26.

- An ace from Haley Tenelshof (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Jenison) gave WSU an 8-4 lead early in the third set.  A kill from Asiedu and a poor DU set pushed the Warriors' lead to 15-11.  Another DU error pulled WSU within five points of the sweep at 20-17.  The set was tied at 21-21, 22-22 and 23-23 before DU took a 24-23 lead on a service ace.  WSU answered with a point on a kill from Asiedu and eventually won the set 26-24 on a point from Frazee to secure its sixth sweep of the season.

LEADING THE WARRIORS
- Asiedu led WSU with 15 kills, while Richardson posted 13 kills and Moore finished with 10.  Breault dished out 38 assists, while four Warriors tallied at least 10 digs led by a season-high 21 from Rodriguez.

UP NEXT
- Wayne State will return home for two matches beginning with Northern Michigan on Friday night at 7:00 p.m.
