After sweeping Florida Atlantic the day prior, the Michigan volleyball team entered its match against Marshall on the second day of the Michigan Invitational looking to keep the ball rolling.

From the beginning, the Wolverines exhausted the Herd’s defense by dominating play at the net and relying on quick points from their blockers. Marshall constantly made adjustments and secured points by rotating its players and presenting a unique serve. While the Herd’s (4-2) plays forced Michigan (5-0) to slow down and reposition, the Wolverines ultimately held on and swept 3-0.

“Especially down the stretch, Marshall was really pushing us,” Michigan coach Erin Virtue said. “They pushed us with their serve. We got a little shaky from the passing standpoint, but I like the way that we steadied out.”
