EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State volleyball honored its senior class on Wednesday night in a 3-1 (25-16, 25-22, 29-31, 25-12) victory over Northwestern at the Breslin Student Events Center. Senior libero Nalani Iosia posted 20 digs to surpass the 2,000 career dig mark, becoming just the second player in program history to reach 2,000 digs for their career (Kori Moster, 2,218).
“I was proud of how we came back in set four and really pushed,” said Michigan State head coach Leah Johnson. “Aliyah (Moore) had a great match offensively and she really put together two back-to-back matches to close out her career at Breslin.”
MSU improves to 13-17 (6-13 B1G) and has won five of its last six matches. Northwestern falls to 5-22 (3-16 B1G). Michigan State’s season will conclude on Saturday, November 30 when it faces No. 7-ranked Wisconsin on the road at 9 PM ET on Big Ten Network.
