This win concludes a two match home stand and the Aces will be on the road until March 27 when Butler University comes to Evansville. The Aces next match will be Saturday February 13th at @ Eastern Kentucky.
Head Coach Christine Bader on Sorensen capturing the critical point “I am really proud of Pin when it was 3-3 all in the 3rd set and her ability to close the match. Overall a team still has a lot to work on, and we will get after it this week in practice in preparation for EKU and MSU next weekend. “
