Hammond, Ind – The Michigan Tech volleyball team swept Purdue Northwestern on Friday (Sept. 23) at the Fitness and Recreation Center. The Huskies won 25-15, 25-16 and 25-19 to move to 8-5 overall and 2-4 in the GLIAC.
“We came in with energy and poise and played a good game,” Tech coach Matt Jennings said. “I thought our passing was on point, which made a huge difference in the game we came out on top of.
“I’m proud of the way the team came together and finished tonight. We’ll work to get better from here. Tonight, it was a step in the right direction.”
Tech used a 10-0 run in the first set to take the lead. Brock Dzwick served up a run and the Huskies forced the Pride into six offensive errors. The Black and Gold opened the frame on an 8-2 run with Lindy Oujiri adding three kills in the run and five in the set.
The Huskies never trailed in the second and held a four-point lead for most of the set. Morgan Radtke had five kills in a 6-1 run. Tech hit .440 in the second and Meg Rabe had three kills.
The visitors used a 9-2 run in the third half to take control, similar to the first two sets, and closed with a 7-3 run to claim their eighth of the season. Five Huskies had at least two kills in the third and Karissa Beyer recorded seven digs.
Morgan Radtke and Lindy Oujiri each finished with nine hits. Radtke added four blocks and three assists. Lina Espejo-Ramirez paced the offense with 29 assists, adding nine digs and five kills. Carissa Beyer (16 digs) and Kate Walch (10 digs) led the defense.
