HOW IT HAPPENED
The first set was tied at 3-3 after a kill from Taylor Wagner (St. Joseph, Mich. / Lakeshore).  An by Wagner and a point by Kamryn Duffield (Romeo, Mich.) pushed the Warriors in front 7-4.  The Bulldogs responded with a  5-0 run, taking a 9-7 lead.  The visitors controlled the rest of the set and led 19-13.  Alexa Withun (Troy, Mich. / Athens) pulled WSU within three, 21-18, with a spike.  However, FSU would go on to win 25-20.

Jenna Kray (Westerville, Ohio / Worthington Christian) gave the Green & Gold a 5-3 lead early in the second set.  A kill from Maddie Morrison (Flushing, Mich.) kept WSU on top, 8-7, before Ferris State responded and took a 13-9 advantage.  The Bulldogs won 25-19 and led the match 2-0.

FSU led the third set 5-1 and eventually 9-4.  Back-to-back kills from Halle Shell (Port Huron, Mich. / Port Huron Northern), plus a point by Withun and an a service ace Julia Malewicz (Macomb, Mich. / Utica Academy for International Studies / Henry Ford II) trimmed the deficit to 11-10.  An assisted block from Kray and Duffield put WSU on top 16-15.  Wayne State battled down the stretch but fell 25-18.

HEAD COACH THOUGHTS
"Credit to Ferris State for executing very well today," said head coach Tim Koth.  "We have to learn how to push through when teams put pressure us.  We will, and tomorrow will be a better day."
