MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - On a tough night of competition, the Rams dropped two conference matches in straight sets. The Rams found themselves unable to get a solid attack going as both teams were on the offensive the entire night. The Rams received strong play from Emily DiGiorgio and Maddie Stocker on the night and will look to build on the strong efforts.

Match Vitals:

• During the first match, the Rams showed competitive flashes throughout. In the last set of the match, the Rams led for a large portion of the set.

• In the second match of the evening, Minnesota-Morris dominated the first two sets before North Central gave a great effort in a 21-25 set loss in the final set of the evening.

Match Recaps:

• During both matches of the night, hitting mistakes plagued the Rams. The Rams had a match-high of .024 on hitting percentage against St. Scholastica before dropping down to -.042 against Minnesota Morris. The hitting percentage coupled with errors, 16 vs Morris and 22 against Scholastica, proved to be too much to overcome.

Key Performers:

• Emily DiGiorgio - 7 kills, 6 blocks

• Maddie Stocker - 24 digs

Next Up:

The Rams are back in action on Friday against Oak Hills Christian (3PM) and Trinity Bible College (5PM) in Bemidji, Minnesota.
