BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Drake volleyball team picked up its first win of the season on Saturday afternoon defeating Western Kentucky, who was receiving votes in the national poll, in a five set match, 3-2.
The Bulldogs went to Macy Daufeldt early in the first set as the West Liberty, Iowa, native recorded three consecutive kills to make the score 3-3. That would be as close as Drake would get for the remainder of the set, however. WKU immediately rattled off a 5-0 run and followed up with a 6-0 run to get Drake in a 20-10 deficit.
