HOW IT HAPPENED

After falling behind two sets to none to No. 23 ranked Indiana Wesleyan, Spring Arbor battled back in the third set.

Leah Rose paced the defense with a match-high 16 digs. Annica Stotz collected seven in addition to her 13 assists, and Laura Hardy and Taylor Johnston registered six digs apiece. Kyser recorded a season-high five blocks.

Katie Elson and Emily Workman combined to dish out 36 assists.
Three Wildcats recorded double-digit digs, including Banner Rodgers with a team-high 13.

QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH BETSY MARTINEZ

"Courtney Kyser did a nice job for us in the middle tonight, both offensively and defensively."
"We have a lot of growth to make as a team and tonight some of those areas of growth were very evident. We are ready to get back to practice for a week before our next match."
