Ferris finished the weekend of competition with wins over St. Joseph's College, West Virginia State and Minnesota Crookston while it also suffered losses to Indianapolis and California (Pa.) at the Ferris State Invitational at the Ewigleben Sports Complex in Big Rapids. Saturday was the last day of the invitational as the Bulldogs split two matches with a 25-16, 27-25, 22-25, 25-12 loss to Cal (Pa.) before bouncing back to beat Crookston, 25-20, 25-17, 25-22.
Considering there were some teams with solid to very strong national credentials competing in this event, it was not your typical invitational stuffed with a bunch of easy opponents. It was nice to see all the teams that participated in the invitational embrace playing the tough competition.
Ferris is a team that looks like it will continue to get better over the course of the season as its offense continues to gain experience and the team's attack percentage climbs higher and higher. But, the Bulldogs were tested this weekend as they were challenged by teams that displayed strong floor defense and solid defensive work at the net.
