Hancock, MI - The Grace Tigers volleyball squad kicked off their trip to the Upper Peninsula with a 3-1 win over host school Finlandia University on Friday night. Their 6 am practices would come in handy Saturday morning in their 9 am match as their energy was evident in game 1, outscoring opponent Rockford University 25-5. They went on to defeat the Regents 3-1. Finlandia University would then earn some revenge in the third and final match of the weekend for the Tigers, defeating Grace in three straight sets.
The Tigers finish their regular season 16-9, and they will be traveling to Knoxville, Tennessee next Tuesday for NCCAA DII Mideast Regional Tournament play. The first action will start next Thursday.
