Abigail Winkel played well for the Knights in the middle, tying Birschbach for the team lead with 11 kills while also recording a team-high five blocks.

Hannah Willems also made her presence known in the middle with four blocks (including two solo blocks), while Aswege once again led the team with 24 digs.

MLC moved to 1-6 on the season following the split. The Knights will return to action on Tuesday when they travel to St. Catherine for a match scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
