Adrian (9-15, 2-6)
The Adrian College volleyball team played two matches last week, dropping them both. The Bulldogs fell to Hope in three sets on Wednesday, and then to Kalamazoo 3-1 on Saturday. Adrian was still able to get into the MIAA Tournament as the #6 seed after winning a three-way tiebreaker with Olivet and Saint Mary’s based off of the percentage of sets won head-to-head with those schools. The Bulldogs travel to Alma for a first round matchup with the Scots on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
Albion (16-11, 5-3)
Setter Grace VanDorn (North Aurora, Ill.) finished her 36th career double-double with 44 assists and 18 digs and RS Kate Winter (White Lake, Mich./Lakeland) collected a season-high 16 kills against Trine last Wednesday…Winter’s 16 kills were one shy of her career-high, set in a five-set victory over Trine last season.
Alma (18-7, 6-2)
Alma heads into the MIAA Tournament as the No. 3 seed after going 6-2 this season in conference. The Scots finished up the regular season this week with losses to Div.
