Playing less than 24 hours after losing to No. 10-ranked St. Thomas , the Scots fell in three games to St. Olaf in Northfield. The Oles served 13 aces and hit .171 to move into a three-way tie for sixth place and the final playoff spot at 4-5 in the MIAC. The Scots remain winless in conference at 0-9 with two more chances to get into the win column. Games scores were 30-18, 30-19 and 30-24.

Kari Tanaka (Sr., Bloomington, Minn. / Jefferson) handed out 14 assists and collected 11 digs, while Marie Godwin (So., Chaska, Minn.) led the defensive effort with 12 digs. Suzy Szumowski (Jr., Northbrook, Ill. / Glenbrook North) had four blocks and Majra Mucic (Fy., St. Louis Park, Minn.) had three. Szumowski ranked fifth in the MIAC in blocks heading into the weekend.

St. Olaf was led by Kim Smisek with 16 kills and 17 digs, and Kelly Prunty with 34 assists. Alyssa Williams served five of her team's 13 aces and Jessica Levin had nine kills.

The Scots close out their season with a pair of MIAC matches this week. They play Wednesday (Oct. 24) at Gustavus and wrap up their 100% road schedule Friday (Oct. 26) at Hamline. Because Mac has no home matches this season, the team's “Senior Night” celebration will be

held at Hamline prior to Friday's 7 p.m. match as graciously provided by the host-Pipers.
