The Raiders had a total team attack percentage of -.061 and their best single frame mark was only .028. The Red & White committed 27 errors while managing to tally just 21 kills. Wisconsin Lutheran (8-2, 6-2 NACC) on the other hand had 17 more kills than they did errors. MSOE did make things interesting in the third set of the match, tying the contest late at 20 all, but still fell to WLC in straight sets.
Unfortunately, things only slightly improved in the second ballgame of the day. The Raiders did end up with more kills than errors, but their team hitting percentage was still only .017. However, the Red & White did manage to take home a set. After battling in the first frame of the game, the Raiders hit .167 and had 11 kills to take the third stanza by the score of 25-21. That win was bookended by two losses of 11 points or more though as they ended the day with another loss to the Warriors, this time by the final score of 3-1.
