Volleyball continues to pave through GLIAC
Ferris State volleyball didn’t lose a set in their weekend GLIAC road sweep of Tiffin and Ohio Dominican.
More impressive is that volleyball has lost just three of 22 sets in their seven conference games to kick off the 2014 season, with all three losses coming to Grand Valley.
Ferris has climbed into the No. 15 spot in the national rankings in Division II Volleyball.
Junior Megan VanderMeer has put up 106 kills in 36 sets this season to lead the Bulldogs.
Women’s soccer drops to Dragons
A 2-1 loss at the hands of the Tiffin Dragons has put Ferris in a sticky 1-4-2 start to the 2014 season.
Despite putting up a good front and playing Grand Valley State close (3-2 loss on September 20) Ferris has yet to win a conference game.
The Bulldogs only win to this point is a 2-1 overtime victory over Indiana Wesleyan back on September 16.
The record, while sluggish is slightly deceptive. The Bulldogs have a minus-six score differential (Have allowed six more goals than they have scored) in seven matches.
Defense hasn’t been the issue in that Ferris has given up three goals only once, it’s the offense that has only scored five goals in seven matches.
Ferris have only lost one game by more than a goal.
Junior forward Casey Shauman is pacing the Bulldogs with three goals.
