Iwona Lodzik (Tarnobrzeg, Poland/Tarnobrzeg) led the 'Cats with a .385 attack percent and seven digs. In the game, the Spartans held a 5.5 to 1.0 block advantage over Northwestern, also hitting at .390 over .261 for the 'Cats .
Game two was all Northwestern early on, up 18-9 at one point, before Michigan State stormed back to tie it and forcing two game points. The Spartans eventually beat the Wildcats 32-30. Outblocking the Spartans 4-3 at that point, Jill Buschur (New Bremen, Ohio/New Bremen) added three kills on six attempts in the game. Lodzik was six for 13.
Michigan State took any momentum away from the Wildcats in game three, handing them a 30-19 loss.
Drew Robertson (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly) had 36 assists and five digs in the match. Lodzik led the team with a .314 attack percent and 11 digs.
