"Our defense was more aggressive this weekend," said head coach Rachel Miller. "It was something we have been lacking. I am very proud of our effort; we knew these were must-have matches and stepped up."
The Bulldogs were led by sophomore Chelsea Vaudt with 10 kills on 29 attempts, four solo blocks and five assist blocks. Dani Hoagland added nine kills to help pace the offense. Three Bulldogs registered double-digit digs on the night with Kelsey Affolter leading the way, accumulating 16 while Nicki Axelson had 12 and Lauryn Nyhoff contributed 10.
"We talked a lot about control this week in practice," continued Miller. "We did a good job of controlling the tempo of the game and our emotions when the game was close. Chelsea (Vaudt) had a good weekend at the net, and we need that to continue next week."
The win moves the Bulldogs to 7-18 overall and 4-8 in the GPAC while the Cougars fall to 14-19 overall and 1-11 in the GPAC.
