St. Bonifacius, Minn. — On a busy day in athletics at Crown, the volleyball team hosted a triangular with UM-Morris and UW-Superior visiting the Wild Athletic Center.

Junior Kaitlin Ruiter led the team with seven kills,; senior Kelsey Roschen led with 17 assists, and senior Michaela Svoboda led the team with 13 digs. Roschen was close behind Svoboda accumulating 12 digs as the primary setter. Senior Alayna Kohler and sophomore Christine Anderson both had a block in the game.

In Crown's second game, the third game of the tri, Crown fell to the Cougars 19-25, 7-25, 10-25. Kohler led the team with four kills; Roschen led the team with 14 assists and eight digs. Roschen, along with Kohler and Anderson for the second straight game, all had a block in the match.
