Green Bay Recap and Stats
Loyola Recap and Stats
Player Of The Weekend: One of the great things developing recently for the Panthers is the variety of people stepping forward on offense, especially in the absence of starting outside hitter Elizabeth Egerer. Friday night, Milwaukee looked to the middle in its win over Green Bay, and senior Mackenzie Millis responded with a collegiate-best 17 kills. Saturday, Melissa Jansen stepped forward on the outside, collecting 11 kills as one of three players in double figures in the sweep of Loyola.
Key Stats: There isn’t much to complain about with UWM’s offense over the two matches this weekend. The Panthers wound up hitting .253, committing just 33 hitting errors over seven sets. Milwaukee had five players average at least two kills per set.
