TOP HUSKIES

Junior outside hitter Shelby Kimm (North Liberty, Iowa) – 19-dig, 10-kill double-double

Sophomore setter Braya LaPlant (Grand Rapids, Minn.) – 37 assists and six digs

QUOTABLE – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann
"We did some good things in the serve and pass game tonight but really struggled late in each set. Concordia just kept the pressure on us. They used lots of off-speed shots which really gave us fits. We had as many kills as they did for the match and did hold them well below their season attack percentage, but it's a match that a team like us has to win, at home, if we want to be one of the best in the NSIC."
