Coachs Remarks
"It was great to have such a strong performance both offensively and defensively!  Devinn Bell ran a great offense and had some long service runs and timely blocks.  Liv Carel, Kaitie Rohe, and Kristina Manojlovic came up big at the pins leading us in kills.  Katie Boston had had a big hitting day out of the middle along with Ella Pettinger but up a nice block.  It's great to battle a tough team on their court and come out on top!  We are looking forward to starting the postseason against Augustana on Tuesday at 7 pm in Tarble Arena!"


Team Results
  • The Firebirds gear up for the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Championship which starts Tuesday, November 12. 
  • Carthage will be the No. 3 seed and take on the No. 6 seed Augustana (Ill.) at 7 p.m.
