DETROIT -- The Wayne State University volleyball team (11-11 overall, 8-4 GLIAC) bounced back nicely from Friday's defeat to take down Davenport (9-15 overall, 5-8 GLIAC) on Saturday night, three sets to one. The Warriors have beaten the Panthers twice in a row for the first time since 2018.
"This was an important win on the road for the Warriors," said head coach
Tim Koth. "Being able to rebound after the close match last evening against a much-improved Davenport team was critical for us. We executed very well down the stretch, and had some very good offensive performances from Molly and Katie tonight."
