ACU Falls To OUAZ, Beats WSC

Glendale, Ariz. - Competing at Victory Lane SportsComplex for the first time in a month, NAIA number four ranked Arizona Christian dropped their match against NAIA number one ranked OUAZ before rebounding to beat NCAA Division II Wayne State (Neb.).

The Brown sisters (Haley Brown and Riley Brown) won both of their matches including the only pairs' win against OUAZ.  The Browns improved to 6-0 against GSAC foes.

Emee Fellens and Abigail Nelson played real tough against their OUAZ counterparts at the threes.  The match went three sets and needed at least one extra point in all three sets to be decided.  Emily Katzer and Jaiden Zeis also forced three sets against the No.1 Spirit at the fours.

In the day cap against the Wildcats, Brianna Boeckman and Eliana Cho claimed the first team point with a two set win at twos.  In the five pairs, which was actually played in the first wave, Alyssa Robles and Kapri Espinosa gave the Firestorm a 2-1 edge.  The Browns then claimed the needed third point for the win.
