After a couple of tough Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) losses, the Bulldog volleyball team looked to bounce back on the always-popular UMD homecoming weekend.
The matches included dates with NSIC rivals St. Cloud State Huskies and the Concordia St. Paul Golden Bears.
In front of an electrified crowd on Friday night, the No. 16 Bulldogs made quick work of the Huskies with an impressive 3-0 sweep.
Senior Lindsey Clairmont had 12 kills and added an outstanding 5 blocks, while senior Katie Gangelhoff set 42 balls, according to the UMD Web site.
With a strong win on Friday night, the Bulldogs geared up to take on the top-ranked Golden Bears on Saturday.
Despite a great effort and fan support, the Bulldogs quickly found out why the Golden Bears are the top-ranked team in the nation.
UMD was swept, 3-0.
"It was really loud in the gym," said junior fan Dustin Lindquist. "We have great fans, and the Bulldogs put up a great fight."
UMD freshman April Hansen had a team high with 14 kills, five digs and a .323 hit percentage, while Gangelhoff led the team with 30 set assist, according to the UMD Web site.
The Bulldogs will once again look to bounce back as they hit the road this weekend for match-ups with the University of Mary and Northern State University.
