SCOTS VOLLEYBALL RECORDS LEAGUE WIN AT HOME AGAINST KALAMAZOO

The Alma Volleyball team returned home on Tuesday evening to take on league rival Kalamazoo College and came away with a hard-fought three game match, winning by scores of 25-22, 25-21 and 25-22. The Scots improved to 6-7 (3-2 MIAA) with the victory, while the Hornets dropped to 6-8 (1-3 MIAA) in 2009.

"It was not a pretty win, but it still was a league win, and that is what matters," said Alma Head Coach Cheyenne Luzynski. "I told the girls that I felt that we played on step ahead to get the win. Moving forward this weekend, we must play Alma volleyball against Calvin and Trine if we are to be successful. Becca Ratkov had a great game for us tonight as she made big plays for us when we needed it."
