Series history: 23rd meeting, Dominican leads 13-9
The Stars have been a thorn in the Muskies' side for the last decade, winning 12 of the teams' last 13 meetings, including a three-set win last year Oct. 2, 2021 for Dominican's fifth straight win over Lakeland. The Stars also won in five sets in the last meeting here at the Moose & Dona Woltzen Gymnasium in 2018. The Muskies' last win over Dominican came in 2016 on the road with a dramatic five-set victory that snapped a seven-match losing streak to the Stars. In the series' early years, Lakeland won eight of the first nine meetings, including the first ever Oct. 19, 2002.
Lakeland last time out: Defeated Concordia Chicago 3-0 last night
The Muskies got a big hitting performance from
Susana Stevens to overcome errant serving and defeat the Cougars 25-15, 27-25, 25-22. Stevens finished with 15 kills and Lakeland hit .287 as a team, its second-best mark of the season. The Muskies won their fourth straight match by coming from behind in the second set and then pulling out a third set that included 17 ties.
Brelynn Scoles also contributed nine kills,
Emily Duchow finished with 30 assists and a big service ace late in the third set and
Maeve Sullivan totaled 17 digs.
Dominican last time out: Lost at St. Norbert 3-1 last night
The Stars got the jump on the Green Knights, dominating the first set before St. Norbert turned it around and rolled to a 15-25, 25-15, 25-19, 25-15 win. Dominican hit .148 for the match but St. Norbert's Brooke Clement (21 kills) and Lauren Borchardt (17 kills) proved to be tough to stop, combining for 38 kills. Vicky Krzszkowski led Dominican with 10 kills and Cassidy Spies posted 13 digs. The loss was the sixth straight for the Stars, who last week lost to Concordia Chicago in three sets in Northern Athletics Collegiate conference play and earlier defeated Rockford in their conference opener.
Senior Day: It's only Oct. 1 but the Muskies today will honor the teams' six seniors before the match.
Matejka Abeita,
Emily Bird,
Chloe Cunningham,
Emily Duchow,
Julia Hanson and
Lauren Myklebust are all four-year members of the team who stayed with the program through the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting their sophomore and junior seasons. The six also as freshmen were part of Lakeland's last NACC championship team, when the Muskies were regular season tri-champions of the conference. Along with the six seniors, senior team manager
Ashley Eichmeier also will be honored as well, as she served a manager this year after playing the last two years.
