NO. 3 UMD DOWNS WINONA STATE FRIDAY NIGHT FOR 20TH SWEEP OF SEASON

Box Score Maybe no other opponent has had more trouble when it comes to playing the Bulldogs than Winona State University. The University of Minnesota Duluth has lost only once in 71 meetings coming into Friday's night match.

That trend continued Friday night although the Warriors poised problems of their own throughout game. The Bulldogs withstood the assault and eventually bombarded the Warriors in straight sets (25-21, 25-16, 25-22) to extend their winning ways, winning six in-a-row and 12 of their last 13.

WSU stifled UMD in the opening set, hopping out to a 16-11 lead. Head coach Jim Boos called timeout to collect his team, and they responded to take first set. The Bulldogs ran away with the second set but found themselves in a tightly contested third set. Leading 17-16, the Bulldogs ultimately closed out the final game, notching their 20th sweep of the 2013 campaign.

UMD held the Warriors' offense to a .142 hitting average but also struggled offensively committed 19 errors. Junior libero Julie Rainey led the squad with 23 digs defensively that featured three other Bulldogs with double digit digs. Kate Lange scooped up another double-double with 22 kills and 17 digs. Lange, a native of Hibbing, Minn., also registered five blocks.

UMD will face their final road test of the 2013 regular season against Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa. First serve will commence at 4 p.m.
