Volleyball Victorious in Third Straight Five-Set Match

The Big Blue volleyball team has faced their fair share of marathon matches this month, and their road trip to North Park was no exception. On Wednesday, October 25, the Big Blue traveled north to Chicago, Ill. for a College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin matchup against the Vikings, winning their third straight five-set match, winning against Wheaton College for their fourth five-set win in the month of October back on the 8th. 

In the match, Addison Oyer and Delaney Higgins each totaled 15 kills apiece, with Kyra Carothers adding 10. Higgins rattled off four service aces, and Alyssa Frederking was the assists leader with 35. Defensively, Carothers totaled four blocks, and Kylie Ramirez was the digs leader with 19. 

After falling in the first set 22-25, the Big Blue bounced back to take the second set 25-16 and set three 25-22. The Vikings rallied, forcing the fifth set with a 19-25 fourth set. In the imperative fifth, the Big Blue fell behind early after three straight service aces by Carolina Aviles of North Park. North Park held a 3-7, but the Big Blue came storming back, tying the set at 9-9 on a kill by Gabriella Ricci. Two service aces off the hand of Samantha Breckenridge pushed the lead to 12-9. North Park put up a fight in the final points, but the Big Blue secured the 15-12 victory in the fifth on a Vikings attack error. 

No stranger to meeting nationally ranked opponents this season, Millikin will welcome AVCA #6 Illinois Wesleyan to the Griswold Center on Friday, October 24 for a CCIW matchup.
