At the net, Simon had a team-high 18 blocks while Uffman and Gabby Wolfe added 15 and 13.  

Against Allegheny, a 3-0 loss, HU came out sluggish in the first set, but played stronger in the second set, which ended in a 27-25 loss. The defeat took the wind out of the HU sails, resulting in a 25-17 loss in the third.

HU closed the weekend with a sweep of Concordia-Chicago, 25-23, 25-23, 25-9.
