Marquette is back in action tonight at Kingsford while Negaunee will be at Houghton. Ishpeming is off until Tuesday when it hosts Manistique.

Marquette 3, Wakefield-Marenisco 0

The Redettes improved to 6-1 with a 25-11, 25-23, 25-17 victory over the Cardinals.

“(This) was a great rebound from (Monday) night’s loss and a late night on the road,” MSHS head coach Ann Crandell-Williams said of a four-set loss at Calumet. “Our players served tough and defended a strong outside attack in both their blocking and digging.

“We have a deep bench and everyone stepped in and made some great plays.”

Junior outside hitter Seiler Hruska filled her offensive role well, making 17 of the Redettes’ 25 kills while contributing a team-high five service aces to go with three digs.

Senior libero Celinda Brunswick added 14 of Marquette’s 29 digs to go with two assists and an ace, while junior setter Ari Holder made 16 assists along with two aces. Junior middle blocker Maria Millado made seven of her team’s 12 blocks, adding four digs, three aces and a kill; junior middle blocker Roxy Nelson had four kills, three aces and two digs; and senior right-side hitter Elise Heide made three blocks.
