BEMIDJI – The Bemidji State volleyball team couldn’t quite contend with No. 4 Minnesota Duluth on Saturday at the BSU Gymnasium, falling to the top-flight Bulldogs in three sets.
UMD (21-2, 13-2 NSIC) sealed the sweep with respective wins of 25-16, 25-19 and 25-14 in the opening three frames.
With Saturday’s loss, the Beavers (3-20, 2-13 NSIC) have officially been eliminated from postseason contention.
Hallie Mertz had eight kills to pace Bemidji State, while Hally Holker tallied a team-best 16 set assists. Jada Wlodarczyk spearheaded the defensive efforts with seven digs, while Zayda Priebe continued her late-season surge at the net with three more blocks.
BSU will attempt to snap its 11-game losing streak when facing Minnesota Crookston (3-20, 2-13) at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25, in Crookston.
