CEDAR FALLS, Iowa. – The Drake volleyball team began its quest for the MVC Tournament Championship on Monday night as they took on UIC from the McLeod Center. However, the No. 3 seed Flames ultimately got the better of the No. 2 seed Bulldogs in a 3-0 defeat.
The Bulldogs faced an early deficit in the first set as the Flames used a 5-0 run to grab an 8-4 advantage. Drake had an answer, however, and countered with a 5-0 run of its own, featuring a pair of service aces from Macy Daufeldt, to jump ahead, 12-9.
