Plock and Gergen Lead Drake Volleyball To An Improbable Comeback At Valpo

VALPARAISO, Ind. – The Drake University volleyball team overcame nearly impossible odds in rallying back for a 3-2 win at Valparaiso Monday evening in the Bulldogs' fourth-straight road match.

First, the Bulldogs found themselves down 2-0 after dropping the first two sets 26-24, 25-22. After rallying back to win the next two sets 25-19, 25-18, the team found itself down 14-9 in the fifth and decisive set. However, Drake held off five-straight match points to close the set on a 9-2 run to take the set, 18-16, and emerge victorious with the 3-2 road win.

Drake (9-15, 3-8) was led by another standout night from junior Emily Plock (Altoona, Iowa) who had 21 kills, 16 digs and six blocks.
