VOLLEYBALL: Ferris Earns Win In First Round Of GLIAC Tournament

The Ferris State University volleyball team got its post-season run off to a nice start on Thursday evening in Detroit.

The Bulldogs, seeded fifth in the 2010 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Volleyball Tournament, needed four sets to knock off host and fourth-seeded Wayne State University in a match played at the Matthaei Center in Detroit.
