The Lawrence University volleyball team swept the Midwest Conference player of the week honors following a 4-1 week that included a victory over a ranked opponent.
Lena and Niagara played tight throughout the night, but the Eagles wore down their opponents to take the final game and the match.
Niagara ran a tough offense, but Lena played very scrappy and it was difficult for the Badgers to get the kill where they normally would. Lena played a short game and put Niagara’s defense on their heels too many times.
Pulaski and Green Bay Preble opened Fox River Classic Conference play with a 1-1 draw.
The Hornets struck first on a Joe Rivas goal with nine seconds left in the first half. In the 74th minute, the Red Raiders found the equalizer when AJ Schenk fired a shot just outside the 18 that buried in the top corner of the Preble goal.
Pulaski shut out Green Bay Southwest 7-0, with Green Bay losing twice by default and winning zero games on the night.
Cruising to wins in the singles flight were Ruth Krause at No. 1, Anna Krause at No. 2, Emory Groteluschen at No. 3 and Elizabeth Dornfeld by default at No. 4.
The passing game wasn’t exactly clicking for the Pulaski football team in its Fox Valley Classic Conference-North opener with De Pere.
The rushing game was a different story, however, as three different running backs combined for all but six of the Red Raiders’ 308 yards on the ground Sept. 5 in a 28-10 win over the Redbirds at Saputo Stadium.
