HUNTINGTON, West Virginia - The Bowling Green State University volleyball team dropped a four-set match to Marshal Saturday night (28-30, 30-23, 23-30, 18-30) inside the Henderson Center in Huntington, West Virginia. BGSU was led by junior Taylor Twite, who had a team-high 14 kills and two block-assists.
Senior Susie Norris added her second straight double-double for the weekend with 10 kills and 17 digs. For the weekend she had a team-high 31 kills, as well as chipped in with 31 digs for the two matches.
The story of the match was Marshall's ability to block the ball, as well as play defense. They held the Falcons to a season-low .058 hitting percentage and had a team total 20 blocks. Amber Sims alone had two solo and eight block assists. The Falcons had nine blocks on the night, led by Melissa Mohr's six block-assists.
