(FSU Photographic Services/Ed Hyde)Ferris State University has won three of its last five matches coming into this (Oct. 1) Friday night's home match against Grand Valley State University at 7 p.m.
It's usually a fun atmosphere in the Ewigleben Sports Arena for this particular contest.
Northern Michigan University continues to lead the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference North Division with a league record of 8-0 (the Wildcats are 12-0 overall this season. In second place is Grand Valley at 6-2. The Lakers are followed by 4-3 Saginaw Valley State and 4-4 Ferris.
This is an important match for head coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm's Bulldogs to begin to gain some ground in the North Division standings. A win by Ferris could significantly shrink the gap between second place and fourth place (with still a lot of volleyball, granted, left to be played).
Senior middle hitter Arielle Goodson continues to lead Ferris in kills with 170 while Ashley Huntey is second at 134 this season. Setter Samantha Fordyce has 424 assists while Lisa Tobiczyk is the leader in digs at 193.
