KENOSHA, Wis. – After beginning their 2022 season with three losses at the Calvin Labor Day Invitational, MSOE women's volleyball was hoping to turn things around at the Carthage Tri-Match. Unfortunately, things didn't go the Raiders way as they dropped another two contests on Saturday.

RESULTS
MSOE RAIDERS – 0 (24-12-11)
UW-River Falls – 3 (26-25-25)

MSOE RAIDERS – 0 (23-21-8)
Carthage – 3 (25-25-25)

HOW IT HAPPENED

• vs. UW-River Falls
  • MSOE (0-5) hit .303 in the first set of the day against UW-River Falls and tallied 14 kills. Unfortunately, the Falcons were just a little bit better. UW-RF was able to secure the last three points in the first frame and took the win 26-24.
  • The Raiders wouldn't get any closer than that in the two remaining games in the neutral site matchup. The Red & White didn't register another positive hitting percentage as they lost 25-12 and 25-11 to seal their fate.
  • Emily Stratton led all players with 10 kills while Amanda Yackley did the same with 20 assists.
• vs. Carthage
  • MSOE was once again competitive in the opening game, this time against host institution Carthage. The Raiders gave the Firebirds a run for their money but ended up falling by two to go down 1-0.
  • The second contest wasn't as competitive, but it was close in a 25-21 loss. The wheels ended up falling off in the third, however. The Red & White managed just eight points in a 25-8 loss to finish out the straight sets defeat.
  • Yackley led all players with 10 digs.

WHO'S ON DECK
The Raiders will look to lock down their first win when they open up their home slate this upcoming Wednesday. Game time against St. Norbert from the Kern Center is scheduled for 7:00 pm
