UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. -- The Wayne State University volleyball team (4-6 overall, 2-1 GLIAC) took care of business on Friday night, defeating Saginaw Valley State (3-8 overall, 1-2 GLIAC) in four sets inside Hamilton Gymnasium.  The Warriors have beaten the Cardinals for nine matches in a row.

"We found a way to win tonight when we didn't play our best," said head coach Tim Koth.  "Road wins in the GLIAC are tough, and SVSU played super hard. Credit to them for that, and credit to us for finding a way tonight."
