Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - After splitting on the first day of the Sandy Schumacher Memorial Volleyball Tournament, Minnesota Morris was back on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire for the second day of action and dropped a pair of decisions.

Against Gustavus Adolphus in their first match of the day, the Cougars hung tough with a team on the outskirts of the national rankings, but fell in three sets (31-29, 25-19, 25-23). Marissa Ekness recorded a double-double against the Gusties with 15 kills and 15 digs. Lindsey Markel added 12 kills. Layne Herrmann led with 37 assists and Katie Reitsma totaled 19 digs.

In their final match of the tournament the Cougars fell to No. 21 UW-Oshkosh 25-16, 25-18, 25-19.

Ekness was named to the all-tournament team.

Minnesota Morris (10-13) returns home to take on Martin Luther Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the UMM PE Center.
