No. 9 Badgers have strong showing in victory over Thunderwolves

The Brock Badgers women’s volleyball team played a complete game in Thunder Bay.  

On Friday, Jan. 31, the Badgers traveled to C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse for a matchup against the Lakehead Thunderwolves in which they won 3-0 (25-19, 25-23, 25-20). 

Sadie Dick led the Badgers with 10 points from nine kills and one block while Laurin Ainsworth achieved nine points; eight coming from kills and one block in the match. 

It was a strong first set for Brock as they earned many kills and capitalized on Lakehead miscues going on an eight-point run at one point and claiming the first set 25-19. 

A busy second frame came down to the wire as the Thunderwolves led for half of it until it became a back-and-forth set that ended with the Badgers escaping with a 25-23 set victory. 

Brock managed Lakehead’s comeback attempts by controlling the play at the net in the third set to wrap up the evening by a score of 25-20.

Setters Mackenna Knox and Lauren Teehan split time as they finished with 25 and 13 assists, respectively.
