WAUKESHA, Wis. (Sept. 8, 2010) - Erasing a two
sets-to-one deficit on the road proved to be no problem for the
North Central College volleyball team on Wednesday, as the
Cardinals claimed the final two sets and escaped Van Male Field
House with a 3-2 victory over Carroll University.
After claiming a 25-17 victory in the evening's first set, the
Cardinals (4-1) dropped the second frame, 25-20, before suffering a
25-11 setback in the third set. The comeback began with a 25-15 win
that leveled the match at two sets each, and the rally was made
complete with a 15-11 fifth-set victory.
Jenae
Harner, Crystal
Wright and Kelly
Ator led North Central's attack with 10 kills apiece.
Alli
Briner turned in eight total blocks, including five solo
efforts, and Amber

solos.

and Anna

Memorial Tournament on Friday and Saturday. The Cardinals' first
