Millikin Rolls Past North Central in Straight Sets

The Millikin women's volleyball team took the court on Wednesday, October 29 for a matchup with the Cardinals of North Central College. The Big Blue downed the Cardinals, posting a sweeping victory on Pink Out Night in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

In the match, Addison Oyer was the kills leader with 11, and Delaney Higgins chipped in 10. Higgins posted four aces behind the service line, and Alyssa Frederking added three. Frederking totaled 26 set assists in the three-set match. Defensively, Kylie Ramirez posted a team-high 17 digs, and Nikkel Johnson added three blocks at the net.

Sarah Lezon and Danni Moser each posted eight kills apiece. 

The first set was knotted at 7-7 early, with the Big Blue pulling ahead 15-10 on a service ace off the hand of Ramirez. North Central hung around, but the Big Blue pulled out a 25-20 first set victory. 

The second set saw a similar story, with the Big Blue taking a 18-12 lead on a Cardinal error. North Central crawled all the way back to bring the score to 22-23, but the Big Blue closed out the 25-22 set on kills by Oyer and Johnson. 

The final set was marked by the same blueprint of the prior two sets, with the Big Blue hanging on to take a 25-21 victory to secure the sweep. 

With the win, the Big Blue improve to 12-11 overall, 5-2 in CCIW play. They face a tough test on Friday, October 31 when they meet reigning national champions, #5 Juniata in a matchup in Bloomington, Ill. at Illinois Wesleyan.
