 UE on the road this weekend
  Tabitha Brown posted a game-high nine kills to lead Wichita State to a 3-0 victory over the University of Evansville volleyball team on Monday evening in Missouri Valley Conference action.
Mildrelis Rodriguez was the top performer for the Purple Aces (4-12, 0-3 MVC) as she finished with six kills. Olivia Goldstein notched 14 digs while Jelena Merseli chipped in 10 assists. For Wichita State (9-4, 2-0 MVC), Emily Hiebert notched a game-high 31 assists while Katy Dudzinski and Jody Larson had seven kills apiece.
Evansville held its own early on in the first set, taking an 8-7 lead. Mildrelis Rodriguez had a pair of kills while Olivia Goldstein added a service ace. That would be the last lead that the Aces would enjoy in the opening frame as the Shockers registered eight of the next ten points on their way to a 25-16 win.
The Aces played well in the early moments once again in game two, fighting Wichita State to a 5-5 tie. From there, it was all Shockers. Up 7-6, WSU finished the set on an 18-1 run to open up a 2-0 lead thanks to a 25-7 triumph. In the third stanza, the Shockers opened on a 9-2 run before finishing with a 25-12 victory.
It is back to the road this weekend for UE as they make a trek through the state of Illinois to face Loyola and Bradley.
