Volleyball looks to strike back at MWC
Fingers crossed for home court advantage
The Monmouth College Fighting Scots women's volleyball team took on the Knox College Prairie Fire on Wed. Oct, 26 in hopes to have a shot at winning the MWC title. The game was in the favor of the women as the Prairie Fire had only won three games. The women just had to beat Knox and hope that Beloit beat St. Norbert. Unfortunately, Norbert beat Beloit in three straight sets. The women still have a chance as Norbert plays Carroll on Friday. If Norbert by chance loses to Carroll, the Scots secure home court advantage in the Midwest Conference Tournament on Nov. 4 and 5. Read More...
