Women's Volleyball Outlasts Vikings in CCIW Victory

The Big Blue women's volleyball team traveled to Rock Island, Ill. on Wednesday, October 15 for a matchup with the Vikings of Augustana College. Millikin took a five set victory in a marathon of a match (31-29, 25-21, 19-25, 25-27, 15-10).

After taking the first two sets, the Big Blue dropped the next two but were able to bounce back to win the final set. 

Addison Oyer led the way offensively with 16 kills and Delaney Higgins added 15. Alyssa Frederking posted 25 set assists and Samantha Breckenridge added 20. Higgins topped the digs column with 18. Nikkel Johnson tallied four blocks.

The Big Blue hit for a .222 efficiency compared to the Vikings .164. In the final set, the Big Blue hit .375 for eight kills. 

The match started off with an exciting 31-29 victory for the Big Blue, capitalizing on three straight Viking errors to win the tightly contested set. 

In the second set, it was a kill by Oyer that sealed the deal in the 25-21 win.

In the critical fifth set, the Big Blue jumped out to a 12-6 lead after kills by Higgins, Johnson, and Gabriella Ricci. They closed out the set on a kill by Oyer to take the 15-10 win.

With the win, the Big Blue move to 10-10 overall, 3-1 in College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin play. Millikin will take the weekend off, meeting another set of Vikings on the road at North Park on Wednesday, October 22.
