ALLENDALE, Mich. – It was a scary Halloween night for the Saginaw Valley State University volleyball team as they were defeated by No. 4 ranked Grand Valley State in straight games Friday night, 25-22, 25-22 and 29-27.

It wasn’t all horror for the Cardinals as senior outside hitter Sarah Redoute (Clinton Township, Mich./L’Anse HS) provided the offense for SVSU as she led both teams with 17 kills. She also was third in the match with a dozen digs, giving her a third double-double in as many matches. Sophomore outside hitter Jessica Treiber (Unionville, Mich. / Unionville-Sebewaing HS) racked in 10 kills during the match.

Leading the Cardinals on defense, senior defensive specialist Carmen Schacher (Flint, Mich./Kearsley HS) collected 19 digs during the three games.

The loss drops the Cardinals to 19-6 overall, and 9-5 in the GLIAC, while Grand Valley State moves to 24-2 overall, and remains undefeated in the GLIAC at 13-0. The Cardinals will return to action on the road Nov. 1 (Saturday) as they face Ferris State University, before wrapping up the regular season against Lake Superior State University on Nov. 7.
