From the service line, Winona State dominated, accumulating eight aces on the evening, while the Maurders had but one.

Moving to 11-1 on the season and 3-1 in NSIC competition, the #11 Warriors will wrap up their North Dakota road trip tomorrow with a 11am match at Minot State.
The Beavers (0-9, 0-4 NSIC) dropped a 3-0 decision to Upper Iowa on Friday. Winona State will play in the Minot State dome for the first time in nearly two years; WSU beat MSU 3-1 on Oct. 26, 2019 in their last meeting. WSU is 9-1 in the last ten against the Beavers.
